Vertebral— Jorge Fernández

This book presents an enriching, unsettling, and thought-provoking conversation. Each of its lines—phrases that stand alone but are not loose; "breverías," as the author calls them—shares the reflective character of an essay but also the forcefulness of more distilled writing. Its intention is to suddenly illuminate a realm of common experience among us: civilization and death, faith and ethics, politics and love. This outburst confronts us with a vein of reality that we perhaps expected to encounter.

Vertebral is a collection of dialogues, scenes, and maxims that delve into the core of the most subtle and delicate matters that make up life. Like a snowball, each aphorism—those maxims that hit the mark in their theories and momentarily contain a truth—adds to the avalanche of reflections that invite meditation, dissection, and comparison with one's own experience.

"The mind is an abyss deeper than hell and a paradise more accessible than heaven," states the author, and this mind is the target at which the author hurls these verbal darts. Thus, the echo of their intelligence resonates within us, in that inner beyond that expands through reading and opens the way for our own reflections.
