La literatura del tapón: la narrativa de Emilio Díaz Valcárcel

Abstract

This article approaches Emilio Díaz Valcarcel's narrative works focusing on the ideological and narratological parameters that determine his novel. Highly influenced by the formal innovations of Modernist fiction written in the United States of America, Europe and Spanish America, these works are characterized by heterogeneity and multiple narrative perspectives. Traffic jams and the social isolation that they produce in characters, as well as the intellectual's failed struggle are recurrent elements that suggest the universal dimension of these works.
