A treasure hunt,
A childish gesture,
We went on experiencing
A reading that fascinated us…
A journey in the footsteps
of a generation for whom
life and literature are one…
«The infinite journey of people
who were young and desperate
but who never got bored»

From that journey a serie of photos remains,
as notes composing the memory of a wandering
from Distrito Federal to the desert of the US border
in search of literature and fiction.
