From Mexico City to Rome, from Rome to Mexico City. Felix is in his mid-30s, successful, free, and exhausted by a life without an anchor. As an expat in a globalized world, he travels between luxury hotels and business meetings, navigating superficial acquaintances and fleeting encounters.
In Mexico City, Felix meets Alejandra, and for the first time in years, he feels a flicker of a forgotten love-a promise he once made to himself and then buried. While the world around him plunges into political crises and social upheavals, Felix must face a hard truth: those who stay in constant motion are always running from something.
A literary novel about rootlessness in the 21st century, the search for meaning in a fragmented world, and the courage to begin one's life anew.
For readers of Karl Ove Knausg rd, Roberto Bola o, and Michel Houellebecq-a haunting assessment of our time, suspended between East and West, tradition and modernity, freedom and displacement.
Felix Wendelin tells the story of a generation that can have everything-except a home.
