Description
Summary:Margo Glantz proposes a literature that functions in a self-searching manner. The prose moves along the fold between writing and reading. The present article explores two of her early fictions, Doscientas ballenas azules (1979) and Síndrome de naufragios (1984), which can be ascribed to the mexican literary current Glantz named Literatura de la Escritura in opposition to Literatura de la Onda . Its images outline the intimate relation between writing and violence: shipwrecks and the hunting of whale. Building on fragments they amplify the object into a symbolic constellation. Language is full of the eroticism demanded by totality and insistence of the body.
