Through one of the voices of an alleged epistolary dialogue with the Beloved Lord [Amado Señor], Pablo Katchadjian builds a patchwork of tensions that outlines the search of a character to know and reach his interlocutor. These tensions, both thematic and formal, bring a deep perspective to the text and project it to a paradox. This article aims to delve into these tensions in search of the elements that give them sustenance and that allow us to look for the intimate traces of the identity of the character who writes and interprets himself in his writing.
