Description
Summary:With little attention paid to it by the critics but often upheld by its author, the novel Desplazamientos occupies a singular place in Mario Levrero’s output. Belonging to a little commented phase of his work in which Levrero writes other texts of “unstable description” such as Caza de Conejos and Ya que estamos, Desplazamientos stands out as an important text in the levrerian corpus because of the radical nature of the techniques he employs. In the novel, he deploys a narrative paradigm that allows the imagining of different possibilities of storytelling. This article studies this narrative strategy and its relationship with certain tendencies in contemporary Latin American narrative.
