Abstract(s)
Este ensayo propone leer la narrativa del escritor chileno Alejandro Zambra (1975), primero,
como ejemplar de un minimalismo literario, que comparte diversos rasgos con el
minimalismo en las artes plásticas, y forma parte de lo que Luz Horne llama un “retorno
al realismo” en la narrativa latinoamericana. Segundo, se argumenta que, desde este
minimalismo, Zambra elabora una literatura que es social y política –pudiéndose trazar
una continuidad histórica con el realismo de los años 30-, y contribuye novedosamente al
debate en torno a la memoria histórica de los últimos años.
This essay argues that the novels written by Chilean author Alejandro Zambra (1975) are an example of literary minimalism, a trend akin to minimalism in visual arts that is part of what Luz Horne calls a “Return to Realism” in Latin American narrative. By using this minimalism, Zambra creates a social and political literature (which can be linked to the realism of the 1930s) and thus contributes to the recent debates about historical memory.
