Abstract
Mójese antes de usar is a posthumous novel by poet and friend Carlos Pachón. It narrates the wanderings and occurrences of a young writer in the city of Villavicencio in the 80s and 90s. With an urban and informal language, but full of poetic and literary images, Pachón reveals another face of the territory of the plains beyond the landscape, and puts in the center of the panorama a human being writer who seeks to survive the tedium of his daily life through his letters.
