La doma del elefante

"Óscar Osorio despliega en este libro sobre la figura del sicario en la novela colombiana lo mejor de su capacidad crítica. Pone a prueba su honestidad intelectual y su rigor investigativo al confrontar a algunas de las figuras más prestigiosas de nuestra literatura colombiana.

This volume contains an examination of what are described as the most poetic examples of Chilean prose written in the 20th century. By adopting Ralph Freedman's conceptual definition of lyrical narrative and using it as her point of departure, Professor Kostopolos-Cooperman argues that the protean and magical nature of Bombal's lyrical prose transcends the causal, temporal and spatial movement that characterizes conventional fiction. In her view, Bombal's work is rather a narrative that arises in the poetic imagination of a narrator who creates a tapestry of expanding musical and pictorial...
