| Résumé anglais |
An unnamed protagonist finds himself trapped inside a sort of labyrinth where he can only move from one room to another, with no possibility of return. Driven by the urgent need for liberation, he comes across desolate and frightening spaces, but also with conformist inhabitants resigned to the basic sustenance that is provided by a superior and strange force. His nonconformity leads him to explore, despite the fear and terror of the unknown, corridors and more rooms that deteriorate as he progresses, affecting, by the end, his physical integrity. The system repeats itself cyclically, also in a new space, which is apparently more hospitable than the rooms he has just left, a place from which he also escapes to return to his starting point. The perturbatory narration (Schlickers, 2017) used in El lugar (Levrero, 1969), is presented to us as a metaphor for the individual that lives alienated in the modern city and trapped inside a cyclical machine that drives him to conformism through terror and bewilderment, while experiencing both peace and despair.
