Upriver on a rotting barge, hauling lumber toward a sawmill that may not exist, Maqroll the Lookout keeps a journal of a voyage he already suspects will come to nothing. This is how Alvaro Mutis's wanderer moves through all these linked tales: into ventures he knows are doomed before he begins, gold mines that flood, cargoes that never arrive , ships bought on the strength of a dream.
He was a hostage of the void.
