keke ferrari Lately he has emerged as a surprising crime novel writer between Spain and Argentina. The cases that are presented to us in their plots are truly true black chronicles, without ambiguity or great concessions to rhetoric, raw as life itself.
In the case of this book that look like flies from afarThe first thing that occurred to me is that old idea of the observer located in a preponderant position, perhaps a twentieth floor, in the window of the best office of a multinational company. And from afar we look like flies, ants busy at nothing, at least for the observer, knowing that everything works like a roulette, including our destinies, subjected to the whim of the one who spins the hamster's wheel ...
The observer may well be Machi, the protagonist of the novel. A guy devoid of scruples and therefore of any principle, and even less of morality ... The prototype of a winner in a society as hedonistic as it is traumatized by the vagueness of everything.
Married by inertia to achieve his purposes, fond of chemistry and prone to the ravings of his own life, built on the foundations of his amorality.
All good, up to there. Assuming existence as a transit from which to try to get out as best as possible. With money, power and animosity as any flag, Machi suddenly finds himself with an unexpected surprise.
It is not that discovering a dead person in your car is especially shocking, but the consequences can upset your vital log of luxury and excess.
The decisions that such a character can make can be surprising when we try to put ourselves in their shoes. But reality is what it is, an amalgam of subjective sensations in which each one carries out his essential mimicry, the one that allows him to continue outlining his destiny.
But perhaps the corpse means something else. Perhaps, in addition to the criminal implications, the body of that victim is a warning from someone who yearns for the most stark revenge.
Everything will be seen ... Becoming Machi, empathizing with him is not easy, but knowing what his life is going to be from that turning point is highly suggestive. How to live the life of someone we wish equally the worst and the best of luck ...
