Inhaltsangabe

In this novel Luis Ortiz once again demonstrates his position as one of the most original and forceful voices of contemporary Venezuelan literature and knows how to keep the reader at every turn of the page. His work "Hallucinating", tells the life of a writer whose motive is political, cultural, humanitarian or love, only finds meaning in his life through drugs and alcohol. He does this because the act of living and writing, transforming symbols and ink, into narrative, is the only way he knows to release his repressed desires. In addition to showing the unfortunate reality of a drug addict, "Hallucinating" is a narrative that highlights the importance of literature, where the chimera comes only when the characters involved awaken words and fill the meaning with writing. The narrative reminds us that the readings will always be selected by the reader, whose circumstances determine their interpretation. The experience, as well as the senses, yearnings, and frustrations, end up being the filter that gives that unique and personal sense to this narration in which its author appropriates a literary figure of diction and of thought; compares, argues, fictions, raises utopian, dystopian scenarios, even alternate realities, perhaps to try to convince or move with words that support his message. In this case, the prosopopeya of the hallucinations of the central character of his novel, which gives as real, imaginary situations, even gives words to those who are dead, as if they were alive.
