RE: ADSactly Literature: *The place of the writer* of Victoria de Stefano or the self-consciousness of the novel (Part I)
As you well point out, Victoria de Stefano is one of the most prestigious Venezuelan writers with a solid voice within the Latin American intellectual panorama. Also, as you well point out, the last century and modernity gave way to a specular characteristic in literature and the arts in general, which I find particularly interesting. Self-referentiality or self-reflectivity allows us to know not only history but also what lies behind its construction, the mechanisms of artifice that sustain the narrative work. Although this type of story can take some magic away from it because it breaks some fictional codes, it gains in other elements related to the creative process of any work. It is an excellent work, as always, @josemalavem
Your lucid reading is very well received, @nancybriti. Certainly, Victoria de Stefano brings into play that character that postmodern aesthetics rediscovered, as it was already in some writers of the late nineteenth century (especially in poetry) and early twentieth century. The uncovering of the "artefact" character of the literary text (in this case, the novel) is something that our author does with mastery. Thank you y greetings.
