Guadalupe Nettel picks the city of Paris to find his reason for living; his excuse for his personal and cultural extensive journey replicates a part of the author’s biography. The decision to create characters who live the “city of light” experience surges and reiterates a vital, spiritual and formative necessity, amongst those artistic and intellectual migrants who have traveled there to fulfill a rite as enigmatic, as it is real. Within this novel, we can also find a reference to neighborhoods, monuments and places, such as the emblematic cemetery Père Lachaise which serves as the center of the plot. It is filled with the presence of renowned Parisian thinkers and artists whose influence is evident in writers from different affiliations and latitudes who continue to re-edit the Paris myth, an exclusive way of life, living and thinking with an international projection.
