The Postmodern Storyteller: Donoso, Garca Mrquez, and Vargas Llosa,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Postmodern Storyteller examines three key novels of the 1980s, including Jos Donosos El jardn de al lado (The Garden Next Door) (1981), Gabriel Garca Mrquezs Crnica de una muerte anunciada (Chronicle of a Death Foretold) (1981), and Mario Vargas Llosas El hablador (The Storyteller) (1987). Each text has an observer narrator who is not the protagonist of the story he narrates; rather he tells the story of another individual. These storytellers can be considered postmodern not only because they reject the notion of communicating truth, but also because they require an active readeraccomplice who will formulate an individualized message for him or herself through reading the text and observing the Other. The shift from the modern to the postmodern storyteller is necessary, because, as Walter Benjamin indicated, it has become nearly impossible to convey personal experience through a traditional firstperson mode of narration in contemporary society.As a way to preserve the importance of the author in a society in which communication is devalued, Donoso, Garca Mrquez, and Vargas Llosa, who each earned their acclaim during the Latin American literary Boom of the 1960s, reject the truthtelling function implicit in firstperson narration and the testimonio genre that became popular in the 1970s. Each reactionary narrator figure investigated in The Postmodern Storyteller discards the notion of communicating truth by parodying a truthbearing genre, which include the realist, chronicle, and ethnography genres.As a result of the simultaneous observation of a protagonist Other, the narrator and the readeraccomplice can assuage the fragmentation of the individual in a postmodern society. As Reagans analysis shows, the act of reading can serve a psychotherapeutic emotional appeal for the active reader when coupled with a postmodern storyteller.
