Atrapado en su departamento por una pandemia, Tomás afronta días y noches lejos de su familia, amigos y aquellos que ya no se encuentran en este plano terrenal. Para hacerlo, se aprovecha de una de las desventajas de la vejez: el insomnio.Este relato revive los mejores recuerdos de una vida humilde, suficiente y acompañada; una vida como cualquier otra: llena de risas, desilusiones, oportunidades y decepciones.Una que no solo valió la pena ser vivida, sino recordada y contada, para demostrar que un recorrido común también puede ser extraordinario, y que, a veces, los mejores momentos de la vida son aquellos que se recuerdan cuando no podemos conciliar el sueño.Mariana OrtaTomás es un hombre de avanzada edad que, en medio de la soledad, agobiado por la falta de sueño y la situación en que se encuentra, decide indagar en sus recuerdos para relatar los días de su juventud. Aquellos días en que el inminente final parecía tan lejano.Envejecer no es fácil. Es un camino lleno de nostalgias, despedidas y de la chocante pregunta: ¿qué hubiera pasado?Crónicas del insomnio nos abre las puertas a la mente de Tomás, una persona común quien, consciente de que vive sus últimos días, decide encarnar su yo más joven, y mediante las historias que cuenta, revive el viaje que lo ha llevado al día de hoy.Félix Orta Villalobos
