  Delrin, the migrant who supplies water to the Darien | UNICEF

The sun is not yet burning when Delrin Chavarría begins the routine he obsessively follows every day at this hour: he writes from his cell phone to his team's technicians to check if the water pumps are working, if there is enough water stored for filtering and if there is potable water available for drinking. (...) Water is one of his obsessions: he grew up without it and knows it is fundamental. (...) So when Delrin arrived in Darien in mid-2021, the territory seemed familiar to him: a geography surrounded by indigenous communities like his own, to work with migrants like him on the issues that his most obsessed about: water and sanitation. Within a few hours he understood that this was part of the broken continent, without infrastructure: there are communities without drinking water, searching in the nearby river is a bad idea because it is not clean and the rain is abundant but it is not stored or filtered.

  The mobile Africas of Alain Mabanckou

By doing it on a regular basis, I was building up my strength for what would become my principal activity – and an obsession. Before you published your first novel, Bleu Blanc Rouge (Blue White Red) in 1998, you had published four collections of poems. (...) If you do not have the courage,if you do not have the obstinacy, if you do not have the obsession, then talent is worth nothing! Writing a novel means polishing each sentence and coming back to it as many times as necessary, to really express the feeling it is meant to. The courage that Dany Laferrière speaks of is synonymous with obsession and strength. The writer is obsessed with the aesthetic project he bears, and he uses all his strength to defend it within his imaginary universe.
