Sinopsis del Libro

The five novels written by Juan José Millás between 1988 and 1998 (El desorden de tu nombre; La soledad era esto, Volver a casa; Tonto, muerto, bastardo e invisible; and El orden alfabético) display an increasing preoccupation with a limited number of themes, principally identity and social criticism. They also demonstrate the constant reiteration of a specific group of motifs, an increasing use of metafictional devices, and the use of bizarre or mentally disturbed protagonists. Millás presents writing as the compulsive expression of obsessive thought. This book explains Millás's literary signs as corresponding to the clinical symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Using Fredric Jameson's concept of the political unconscious, the obsessive-compulsive aesthetic is found to constitute Millás's individual manifestation or working-through of an anxiety present in the collective unconscious of Spain and provoked by the rapid political, social, economic, and cultural changes experienced during those years.

Wall's starting point is the now-closed Sin-é Café in New York's East Village, which was a hangout in the early 1990s for expatriate Irish musicians, actors, and writers. He comments on the poetry, fiction, essays, and memoirs of both the New Irish and...

O mundo movente de riobaldo em Grande Sertão: veredas

[POR] Este artigo expõe os conflitos que movem a realidade afetiva de Riobaldo durante sua «travessia» lírica, épica e dramática na obra Grande Sertão: veredas. Os elementos idílicos como aves, rios, matas, céu e montanhas contrastam com o mundo agreste do sertão. A épica propende para as ações cavalheirescas durante a travessia. O drama reside no amor contido e transgressor por Diadorim que era sua neblina e sua luz, motor da tragédia que relembra no «range rede» de sua memória. Tudo é revelado, em uma elaboração linguística objetiva, pela voz sincopada de Riobaldo....
