H
ow To Exist, An
Impractical Guide
-
Como Existir,
Guía Impráctica
...How to exist, then, becomes a polyrhythmic call to the
reader. The recurring theme of the book is the search for
meaning in life, and here lies perhaps that most
impractical aspect of the book: the quest. But Fernández
doesn't leave
the reader alone or singular in this regard: in the
introduction to the book she expressly encourages the
reader to become
a traveller herself, to transform the impractical into the
practical through poetry and art. Not simply to be a
traveller,
actually, but rather a guide through words, colours and
forms on one's own journey to meaning. The quest
becomes a
question: how to exist? There might not be a destination
in sight, nor even one to be found, but the journey "in the
eternal minute / of the present / awaiting" will have been
worth every step taken if only the call is answered.
