El año de la ira New historical /archaeological novel of American Literature

Abstract

Our proposal is to qualify the novel El año de la ira (Ensayo sobre un crimen) as a New historical/archaeological novel of Latin American Literature, sustained in the theorical principles of Seymour Menton and Fernando Ainsa, La reescritura sde la historia en la nueva narrativa latinoamericana, and Noé Jitric, Historia e imaginación literaria. This gender will consider, among other themes, “the rewriting of the official ideology, the deconstruction and degradation of the myths and values of the nacionality. Jitrik clasifies the name of Historic Archeological Novel, because its contents deals with an esthetic intent to recollect the historic documents from previous time and with the help of the means that it has, about that historic moment. The manner in which those two proposals overlapped allows the novel to be considered and New historical/archaeological novel of Latin American Literature.
