Description in English: "Celia Rots" is the continuity of a saga started in the sixties with "Breathing in the Summer" and "The Archbishop Arrives in November." This book is an essential work because of Celia's beauty as a character, the telling of a place called Cedrón and its daily life, and the summoning of a town through diverse and distant voices from the city. A long novel about melancholy republished in four volumes spanning more than eight hundred pages, with critical notes."Celia Rots" is prolific prose, material and fragmented, absent of the needs of the plot. This work is a summons to explore Colombian multiplicity from the Caribbean's material, corporeal thought. In this colossal thought image, Rojas Herazo dilutes time as a structural line for the narrative, which can be perceived as a tapestry of existential threads. Including plots from the Caribbean and Bogotá, about experiences that refute philosophy as the frigid activity of a mind trapped within a subject. This work is the consolidation of an artistic and intellectual process in which the otherness of the author as Caribbean has been refined to its maximum in the face of the national project, as well as his contribution to thought and intellectual history.
