Description: "The 'perfect tunnel' is an ironic allegory related to the earth and its inhabitants. Referring to some of the greatest thinkers of Western civilization, narrator depicts fragmented biographies of friends, acquaintances, and unknown people, in an effort to extract a lesson or an answer to existential problems. The human search through the tunnel becomes the tunnel itself, made of individual openings and closures of thoughts and attitudes. Poetic allusions point to an intricate and imaginary construction that, while containing many channels of communication, does not offer a way out of the tunnel"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
