Many have been those who compare the protagonist of this story, Olegaroy, with a Ignatius really of our days that faces a world once again conjured to undo his dreams and his great ideas, that individual perspective between the ingenious and the delusional that sounds like wisdom or stolidity.
The will of the author, David Toscana, may not have been to build a character so close to that of John Kennedy Toole, but the truth is that all that literary character who ends up standing out for his tremendous contribution, for his lucid vision of his palpable science infused or by his extravagant consideration of the ego that occupies his body irremissibly evokes Ignatius and it is from there that we take the consideration of whether the character in question has come to contribute such a degree of wisdom and knowledge as the aforementioned Ignatius.
Reality and fiction as intertwined structures around the subjective world of a quixotic character that jumps from reading to reality, in a game offered by the author and enjoyed by readers who learn to value distortions and oddities as the same ones that are observed in the neighbor of the room or in the unpredictable own reaction to someone who sneaks into the supermarket line.
Only that Olegaroy is much more important. Because from his stubborn intention to solve a murder, this protagonist shows us the philosophical, the transcendental from sparks of humor that electrify an incomparable plot with any current novel.
Sometimes we usually trivialize about death, about our most embedded phobias, ridiculing everything is a good way to give the tragic a patina of inconsequentiality. Olegaroy is here to elaborate on this very human formula as well as being capable of overflowing us with a lucidity, as I say that of Don Quixote on his deathbed ...
David Toscana's game to bring the myth of Olegaroy into our reality, in the manner of an investigation into an unknown character who nevertheless has so much to contribute to the future of the world, is conformed as an omniscience that transcends its narrative function to address a Sympathetic and fast-paced transmutation, from the novel to reality, from reality to the ultimate mechanism that makes our world move, whose principles are rescued by the great Olegaroy while he manages to make us smile permanently.
And that the cause of Olegaroy for this novel, the discernment of the murder of a woman, supposes a gloomy starting point to consider that there may be humor in the matter. So Olegaroy will also make us transcendental from time to time, in those long nights that have become the vast empire of his domains ...
