In 'The Dead,' Jorge Carrión presents us with an intriguing plot where an amnesiac man appears in New York and discovers a hellish world with both historical and fictional characters. The novel explores profound themes such as migration, the nature of fiction, and human responsibility in the creation of stories. What is the essence of migration? Can a novel narrate an audiovisual world? Do fictional characters have rights? What is literature in the 21st century? Are human beings responsible for millennia of massacres in plays, novels, and films? The Dead raises strange questions. Let each reader decide their answers.
