Ortega studies this debate under the scope of the Latin American tradition,where its background and history reside. She even uses the well-known discussion between Peruvian writer J.M. Arguedas and Argentinean J. Cortázar about what the national- local implied, and the cosmopolitan being understood as an option of universality. Secondly, the author analyzes the novel Tratado del amor clandestino, by F. Proaño Arandi to make a contrast about what the debate suggests, and, in some way, prove that the “inward retreat” of the intimate story of the characters’ drama is, at the same time, a motion to what she describes as a journey to “the origin”. This, besides describing the main character as a subject, places him in a story that is shared by other voices, other presences, realities, memories and actors. |
