Journey to the North of the Borders

“This book leads us through a portal to another dimension—a time governed by the rhythms of seasons, cycles, and festivals. Like the festival where ancestral spirits manifest, speak, and share with human beings.”
— Alberto Ruz, Historian, Social Activist, and Writer, author of Rainbow Warriors (Presentation in Tepoztlán, 1991)

“Many of us have wandered through different deserts searching for ourselves. This search seems tied to a certain telluric rigor. The Earth’s diverse geographies mirror our internal landscapes.”
— Hélida Salamero, Astrologer (Presentation in Tepoztlán, 1991)

“It is a pleasure to read, thanks to the magnificent austerity of its prose: short sentences, sparse description of events, and an avoidance of flowery adjectives or long, often unnecessary reflections.”
— Ana Tamarit, La Jornada Semanal, Mexico

“Science fiction buried within an ecological-mystical realm that invites astral and physical travel. The story follows ideal characters—focused individuals pursuing a specific goal. To achieve this, Sundar loses himself and finds himself in the desert.”
— Armando Oviedo, Saturday Supplement of Unomásuno, Mexico

"The extraordinary nature of the fiction ensures its accessibility through the universality of its symbols. Defined by timelessness, it captivates through an intricate interplay of inner reflections. From a single expectation, several stories emerge, weaving a rich tapestry of meaning."

Gregory Cohen, writer and actor.

Presentation at the Santiago Book Fair, 1992.

 

"A short novel, a long story, a sigh that carries you silently aloft—without faltering along paths that seem so external, so touristy, so foreign—yet brimming with doubts, magic, and life. It is typical of dreams, of a consciousness turned inward."

Journey to the North of the Borders, my first book, published in Mexico in 1990 under the pseudonym Pedro Azor, was accompanied by a photographic exhibition of the Atacama Desert—the very landscape that inspired the novel’s soul. MT

Catalogue of the photographic exhibition, written by Eugenia Echeverría, a Chilean poet and writer.

“The photographs of Atacama flow as a continuous meditation—from the stone to the soul of the observer. It is a journey full of surprises, filtered through each passage of light… and by the journey’s end, the light ceases to be that of Atacama or Tolosa. Instead, it becomes the light of each viewer, gently caressing the stones within the soul.”
