Two sherpas kneel at the edge, stand, exchange the odd word, waiting for him to move, to make a decision, to descend.

Mountaineering, colonialism, obligation--in Sebastián Martínez Daniell's effortless prose each breath is crystalline, and the whole world is visible from here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSebastián Martínez Daniell\u003c\/strong\u003e was born in Buenos Aires in 1971.
