Abstract

Después del crimen cometido donde una familia entera ha sido masacrada, el autor decide entrevistar al criminal Ian Joseph quien ha sido recluido en un instituto psiquiátrico. La novela describe el recuento del paciente y el descenso a su propia locura, al tiempo que el autor va agregando aclaraciones a pie de nota. El lector se entera que una de las razones por las que Ian Joseph perdió la razón fue debido principalmente a la cantidad de libros que leyó. El viaje hacia la criminalidad de Ian Joseph también es un camino literario. En este transcurso y tras un desenlace imprevisto se muestra que nada es lo que parece, y que la escritura al mismo modo que la realidad esta llena de espejos que se reflejan.

Alternate abstract:

After a crime commited where a whole family is killed, the autor decides to interview Ian Joseph, the criminal who has been sent to a psiquiatric institutuion. The novel describes the meeting of the patient and his descent through his own madness. At the same time, the autor provides footnotes that serve as clarifications. The reader finds out that one of the reasons why Ian Joseph lost his mind was mainly because of the many books he read. The voyage to the criminality of Ian Joseph is also a literary road. In this course, after an unexpected ending it is shown that nothing is what appears, that the same way as writing, the reality is full of mirrors that reflect each other.
