Descripción
Sumario:The author offers an analysis of the novel Hoy empiezo a acordarme, by the Ecuadorian Miguel Donoso Pareja, based on the notion that fiction is a vain attempt by the narrator to find himself, a writing-journey towards an I that always turns out to be “another.” The character aims to transform exclusively his reality, but the fiction itself in a navigable universe for the reader, the fragmented writing as a vehicle that does not take him to any destiny, but to his own point of departure. Even more important than constructing a novel of formal perfection, the narrator would aim to involve the reader in his own journey-search. Donoso would consider the text as both presence and absence, as both truth and falsehood, to constructthis novel with fragmented stories that are constructed as much from the memory as well as oblivion, in a clear exercise of narrative hyper- conscience.
