About the Book

No es posible salir de Vladik sin un guía que ayude a esquivar los caminos minados. La ubicación de las minas antipersona se detalla en los mapas, el principal pertrecho de los guías. Hay mapas confiables para salir ileso de Vladik. Por tanto, también hay mapas que no son de fiar. Basta que un mapa tenga un desliz en un trazo (cuando son en papel) o un mínimo error de código de programación (cuando consisten en algoritmos alojados en dispositivos electrónicos) para que se torne letal, pese a que en su hechura o reproducción hayan privado los buenos propósitos y el conocimiento verídico de la ubicación, calidad y estado de las minas reseñadas. (...)

Las minas antipersona se plantaron con el objeto de proveer a Vladik de una muralla invisible para la protección frente a los enemigos externos que quisieran entrar y contra los enemigos internos que quisieran salir. (...) No es necesario transitar los caminos minados para padecer sus estragos. Una mina antipersona no necesita explotar para cumplir con su objetivo primario: la prohibición de imaginar o enunciar un mundo distinto. Las minas no solo demarcan las aparentes fronteras vládikas, también aspiran a delimitar el mundo y sus posibilidades, con el mensaje subrepticio de que después de un supuesto finisterre nada hay. (...)

Aunque no hay certeza de cuántos, hay muchos guías que se han asomado a través de la puerta de salida de Vladik. ¿Pero por qué vuelven? Quizá tiemblan de terror de solo pensar cómo serían sus vidas más allá, en esas tierras ignotas. ¿Persistirían en su oficio? ¿Guías de qué? Acaso suponen que al cruzar la frontera se encontrarán con un nuevo Vladik, con otro nombre, otros caminos minados y otros guías más jóvenes y capaces, y a los viejos guías recién llegados no les quedaría más remedio que perseguir las sombras de estos nuevos guías hasta llegar a otra frontera más.

Así comienza Finisterre, una novela sobre el destierro en un mundo en ruinas.

FINISTERRE

Sigilosos guías conducen a caravanas de viajeros hacia las fronteras de Vladik: un vasto territorio asolado por guerras remotas y sembrado de minas antipersona.

En su recorrido por las ruinas del país, los caminantes se valen de mapas tan pequeños como la palma de la mano mientras sortean decapitadores, bestias transgénicas, tecnócratas del absurdo, cavernas hechas prisiones, murallas derruidas e interminables fosos.

Finisterre es un no-lugar, el límite de toda fuga, una fábula delirante en clave de humor negro sobre el destino trágico de este siglo, del anterior y del siguiente.

Libro raro y difícil de encasillar, mezcla de falsa novela histórica y falso ensayo, Finisterre escarba en la llaga de los discursos totalitarios, el absurdo de muchas ideologías, las distopías hechas presente y el horror de las migraciones forzadas.
