¿Qué es la conciencia? Vinculada al sentido de la realidad y de la moral, la conciencia puede abrirnos los ojos al mundo que nos rodea, pero también puede privarnos de la realidad, de esa abstracción que designa la existencia de los seres y las cosas. Es con este juego de realidad y conciencia, o su pérdida, que José Manuel Torres Funes nos lleva, de la mano de sus personajes, en un viaje por el perdón, la angustia, la culpa y el olvido.Desde la celebración de auto de fe en tierras mayas, hasta el neoesclavismo que suponen los sistemas burocráticos latinoamericanos, en Como las iguanas se nos presenta un panorama con personas perdidas, sin rumbo, que viven atrapadas en sus pensamientos y conciencias —esclavizadas a las verdades mundanas— , cuyo contexto las vuelve rebeldes y anarquistas. Sin embargo, la vacilación entre memoria, lucidez y realidad juega un papel principal, por lo que, si la conciencia es la realización de uno mismo en este mundo, entonces, realmente, ¿podemos escapar de esta?
