When the human condition is what directly induces the success or failure of a human being's endeavor, whoever does not evolve goes backwards... Likewise, although supposedly frivolous freedom is currently what governs the global market, its results are ultimately the consequence of man's influence.

When the human condition is what directly induces the success or failure of a human being's endeavor, whoever does not evolve goes backwards... Likewise, although supposedly frivolous freedom is currently what governs the global market, its results are ultimately the consequence of man's influence. This is the essence of the corporate world, as William Castan¿o-Bedoya puts it, in a novel with characters more loyal to profit and fundamentalism than their colleagues and employees. HanssenBox allows itself to wander, led by what its leaders see as destiny, at a time when technology and the online commercial market become industry titans. Ethan, the company's life manager, and Oliver, an outside consultant, star in that microcosm in a corner of the southeastern United States. The two work under the command of a businessman with a shady disposition who plunges them into episodes of mutual distrust, egocentrism, and insecurity. The lives of the characters are systematically affected by the weight of extremist ideologies and the omnipresence of an underhanded double standard . HanssenBox floats along the passage of circumstances imposed by fate in an era in which e-commerce undertakes a crushing advance without return.
Autorenporträt
William es considerado un escritor profundo, humano y vivencial. Mientras, en Los mendigos de la luz de mercurio, desnuda la injusticia social provocada por los excesos de los extremismos, la politización del sufrimiento como herramientas de control político en medio de una de las etapas de más exclusión social en los Estados Unidos; en El Galpón, el autor recrea cómo el conformismo aletargado atenta contra la relatividad del éxito mientras la desconfianza y la excesiva ideologización política se convierte en el trasfondo de una solapada doble moral que torpemente empuja a los protagonistas al manoseo ético. En Flores para María Sucel, el autor reflexiona sobre el viaje por la vida de una familia que trata desesperadamente de mantener el cuerpo y el alma juntos, mientras son destrozados por sus exilios internos. Por su parte, en Los Monólogos de Ludovico, recrea el impacto de la frustración y la impotencia como factores que conforman el absurdo.
