In their apartment he finds emptiness, reminiscences and bookish memories that lead him to reflect on his feelings of abandonment. The vacant spaces of the apartment remind him of moments in his married life, as well as characters from the literary history that took place in similar domestic spaces: from the dining room where William Burroughs accidentally killed his wife to the dining room where Leon Trotsky, AndreÌ BretoÌn, Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo gathered amid discussions and sexual intrigue.-- $c Publisher's web site. 520 $a ""42 m2" is a novel about a young man who has always lived in apartments that measured 42 m2. Author Fabrizio MejiÌa Madrid also explores the rooms of the protagonist's various dwellings as belonging to famous writers such as AndreÌ BretoÌn, B. Traven, William Burroughs, Malcolm Lowry, Jane Bowles, and Alexander von Humboldt, presenting them as people who lived to the limit of their possibilities and came to Mexico in search of change. In this way, the work is also a reflection on the daily experience of being human and undergoing constant movement, yet at the same time, often resisting change."-- $c Latin American Book Store. 520 $a ¿CuaÌntas existencias caben en una sola vida? Ante la ventana de una casa que estaÌ a punto de abandonar, un joven se hace esta pregunta. Sabe que se halla en una encrucijada y que frente a eÌl se despliegan dos trayectos posibles: el amor o la muerte, el azar o la decisioÌn, fluir o destruir. En la sinuosa respuesta a su duda, su casa seraÌ habitada por seis fantasmas, seis escritores que buscaron en MeÌxico, sin maÌs meÌtodo que el exceso, una idea o un espejismo absoluto: AndreÌ BretoÌn, B. Traven, William Burroughs, Malcolm Lowry, Jane Bowles y Alexander von Humboldt. En 42 metros cuadrados, todo objeto, toda persona, se convierte en un obstaÌculo, pero recorrer su estrechez nos va entrenando para nuestra propia insuficiencia. En esta novela cronicada --homenaje y parodia de la vida de los santos o de los ceÌsares--, Fabrizio MejiÌa Madrid nos recuerda que vivir en mudanza permanente puede ser tan soÌlo una forma de inmovilidad.
