Marquez said: "We are all Maclor." This eternal image in Mutis's works - the forever wandering lookout Maclor - reappears at the end of the collection of short stories, but in those chapters where he never appears, the generals, saints, fishermen, writers...

The Adventures and Misfortune of Maclor
General Fiction马克洛尔的奇遇与厄运
(colombia)alvaro Mutis
The epic life of "Lookout Maclor" is a heroic legend composed of seven parts. As the adventurer and protagonist in the world of the Mutis series of novels, Macroor is a hero who travels across land and sea. He has no boundaries of time and space and is an "individual living in an epic world." He couldn't help but stay away from the busy port and the stable life. Transporting wood, opening bars, brothels, smuggling arms, mining and gold mining... He has done countless ridiculous jobs that are on the edge of the law, and all of this is just to clear away the boring time and prevent him from sliding into the nothingness that is about to defeat him. This perpetually wandering lookout is Mutis' "alter ego." Marquez said, "We are all Maclor", and Maclor is also the prototype of each of our contemporary people. "We are all people who have been exiled by our childhood and our own lives." His fate is the fate of everyone struggling in reality. He is always wandering, wandering, "there is no place to go back to, and he doesn't want to go back anywhere." In this "novel group" consisting of seven parts, Mutis gives the narrative an unusually modern way - letting time and life in the novel rush back and forth like waves. In the end, the seven parts overlap and stir into a spectacular personal epic.
