How would you live the last year of your life if you knew the exact date of your death? Especially if you were relatively young, healthy, and the premonition made no sense? This is the question Sebastian asks himself every day after receiving a mysterious note that reads, You only have one more year to live. The entire year Dr Sebastian Luis Perez-Fuertes struggles with the daily receipt of the mysterious missives that remind him of the day he will supposedly die, unleashing a catharsis of enigma, love, and Hispanic American culture, while navigating the confines of his life in Puerto Rico, bathed in the seas of magic realism.
In Catharsis, Garcia Cortes extends an invisible contract acquainting us with a fascinating character whose only desire is to continue existing despite a future overshadowed by a distressing prognosis.
