What if the dream you cannot wake from is actually your own mind protecting you from something you are not yet ready to remember?
In Detriment, the protagonist awakens trapped in a dreamlike world where time does not move forward and every escape leads back to the same place. Three figures accompany him: an old woman carrying the weight of what could have been, a wound that embodies what remains, and an invisible figure who keeps inside a box everything he refuses to face.
A short, dense, and unforgettable novel about memory, guilt, and the cost of choosing oblivion as a refuge.
For readers drawn to introspective, dreamlike, and symbolic fiction. For those who once chose not to remember.
Originally published in Spanish as Detrimento. Translated into English by the author.
