Sociopolitical cartography of Venezuela: the novels of Miguel Otero Silva

Abstract:

The article examines the fictional narrative of the Venezuelan Otero Silva. In his novels, except for the last two, the author created a kind of sociopolitical map of the contemporary history of Venezuela, using as narrative material both events he has lived and those he has been an indirect witness. It is a committed writing, historical in nature, that draws in each of the novels a stage of national development and constantly seeks formal renewal.
