The intertwinement of an Andean literature of Bolivia, from the novels Felipe Delgado, by Jaime Saenz, and Cuando Sara Chura despierte, by Juan Pablo Piñeiro

This essay begins by establishing various characteristics of what could be an Andean literature of Bolivia. In this sense, its purpose is to highlight some of the fictional markers in this type of literature, from the textual intertwinement that novels like Felipe Delgado, by Jaime Saenz, and Cuando Sara Chura despierte, by Juan Pablo Piñeiro can offer. This intertwinement pins down the dimensions of tension and rupture that the characters build inside each text. Saenz and Piñeiro both put together the festive frame of the souls to connect them with overlapping realities or with other places of the inner world of the characters. That is, when parallel worlds of strange characters, ancestors and shadows burst in accordance with the inner world of the characters. In the Andean logic, it is the bursting of people and beings that create a connection to reestablish invisible realities and sacred marginal places. These are worlds, bodies, memories and temporary natures which interact to depict the Andean existential dimension among the places where the Gran Poder festivity, one of the most celebrated in La Paz, is held.
