What does the title mean?

The title of Distant Star: Carlos Wider in addition to writing poems in the sky, made stars representative of the star of the Chilean flag. The star represents Chile. Being a novel written from exile, in the distance, we could say that the title is literal, a novel about that distant star that is the country. In addition, it could be said that Carlos Wider also represents that distant star that he tries to see with the naked eye. In the epigraph we also find the question asked by William Faulkner: What star falls without anyone looking at it? Carlos Wider fell and nobody ever saw him, not even the narrator.
