The protagonists, Eric and Iris, meet in their pre-adolescent innocence, and their paths cross with other characters on the edge of the abyss. Color acts as an invisible thread, linking destinies in a capricious and violent randomness. The reader is immersed in a desolate spectrum of human nature, where cruelty, despair, and a faint hope collide to offer a radical and poetic look at existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe novel follows the lives of Eric and Iris from their meeting on a soccer field during their pre-adolescence until adulthood hits them with brutality. Throughout eighteen stories, other characters share their testimony, always on the edge of the abyss. Some coincide directly with the protagonists, others pass by, and most connect poetically in a final outcome. Colors act as invisible brushstrokes that unite their stories in a randomness that is sometimes capricious and other times violent. The work explores the rawness of life, the vileness of the meanest behaviors, existential despair, and the immersion into parallel worlds, offering a desolate and radical spectrum of human nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe transition from innocence to maturity and its traumatic consequences.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe fragility of life and the constant proximity of the existential abyss.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRandomness and the invisible connection between destinies, symbolized by color.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDespair, vileness, and pettiness as facets of the human condition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe search for hope in a context of violence and rawness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor readers interested in contemporary narrative that addresses emotional complexity and the darkness of the human being.
