Monologue on the Rubble: An Essay on Human Deconstruction and Similarity

By Enrique García Guasco

Monologue on the Rubble is a philosophical-literary essay in which Enrique Garc a Guasco transforms rubble-the grey, porous remnants of collapsed walls-into a powerful metaphor for the human condition, history, and memory.

Richly annotated with new notes and appendices, the text engages in dialogue with thinkers such as Derrida, Butler, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Benjamin, revealing how the fragmented and seemingly useless can simultaneously expose the fragility and resilience of societies. The rubble emerges as a symbol of deconstruction, performativity, entropy, and ruin, yet also bears witness to revolutions, solidarity among the marginalised, and the possibilities of reinvention.

This second edition invites readers to reflect on what we are through the lens of fragments, merging philosophy, literature, and social critique into a monologue that becomes an intimate and open dialogue with time and life itself.
