This is not a book about any of the many wars we have lived through. This book is not about war at all. This is a book about a city under siege and people under siege. Internal and external. The city is the space that they all inhabit. The city is the nervous and cardiovascular system of each of those people. Each chapter can be read as a separate story, but each story only concludes in The War as a whole. "War" should not be read by skipping pages, accidentally opening the book, because in this way confusion is created in its time. But also in the time of the reader himself. A nightmare is created from which there is no way out. "War", like a clock and a calendar, is a book with an exact chronology. Its drama emerges from chronology, as it does in every war, as in the mental illness that simulates war. "War" should be read sequentially, because this is the only way to find a way out of a war, a way out of a besieged city.
