Querido muerto mío is a novel by Felipe Núñez Mestre, published by Rey Naranjo Editores, that delves into the complexity of the willingness to go to war and the fragility of bodies shaped for combat, set in an opaque Caribbean with shifting borders and a threatening sea. The story contrasts the weight of a childhood among corpses, a furious adolescence, and an adult life trying to find meaning amid the military, the pursuit of fortune, and death. The book’s visual concept was created by Raúl Zea, Isabella Viracachá, and Isabella Barajas as part of the Rey Naranjo Editores design team.
