El lugar de la espera

“Democracy and the Constitution, which were born almost at the same time as we were, told us that everyone had the right to be whatever they wanted to be. All of society agreed and came together to preserve our hopes and dreams. We were going to be whatever we wanted to be. That’s why they constantly asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up.” Told by multiple narrators in the first-person plural, the characters share more than the voice that speaks for them all: they live in the same symbolic space, that of a generation that is no longer lost but is missing, waiting for a signal that will tell them when it’s the right time to carry out the work, or make the decision, that will give meaning to their lives.
