I found this interesting, but it was a lot more telling than showing and a bit all over the place. It was like Borgo wanted to describe living in Venezuela without really giving us a story with some meat to it. Also I found some of the metaphors not working at all, I don't know if this was an issue with the translation, but I doubt it. It's overwritten in parts, but I got at least something about Venezuela out of it, even though not as much as I was hoping for.

Omistuskirjoitus: Niille naisille ja miehille, jotka menivät edelläni.
Ja niille, jotka tulevat jälkeeni. Sillä kaikki tarinat merestä ovat poliittisia ja me hippusia jostakin, joka etsii maata.
