How many lives and how many deaths are possible in the existence of the same person? The weightless is a novel about ghostly stocks; an evocation, both melancholic and full of humor, about the impossibility of the love encounter and the irrevocable character of the loss. It reads with the thrilling emotion generated by an agile, sharp writing, at times frankly illuminated, but never renounces the careful questioning and dissection of the values ​​of the contemporary world. Two voices make up this novel. The narrator, a woman from contemporary Mexico, recounts her years of youth as an editor in New York, in which the ghost of the poet Gilberto Owen chased her down the subway. The narrator, an Owen on the verge of death, recalls his youth during the Harlem Renaissance in the late twenties, where he participated - sometimes reluctantly, sometimes with cheerful slyness - of the New York literary life, next to writers like Louis Zukofsky or Federico García Lorca. Both narrators look for themselves in the unfathomable space of the underground trains, where they traveled in their respective pasts.
