FERREIRA, Rocío. Entre realidad y sueños: la triste y dulce experiencia de César Vallejo en Vallejo en los infiernos de Eduardo González-Viaña. CELEHIS [online]. 2022, n.44, pp.3-3. ISSN 2313-9463.

This article analyzes the way in which the historical memory and fictionalized biography of the young Peruvian poet César Vallejo is reconstructed based on the experience he lived between 1920 and 1921 unjustly imprisoned in Trujillo as a political prisoner for acts that he did not commit until his forced departure to Paris (1923) in Vallejo’s Season in Hell by Eduardo González-Viaña. It proposes that the novel establishes a contrapuntal structure with three types of stories that are narrated fragmentarily throughout its chapters. The world of the prison configures the first of these three networks and provides the framework for the other stories. Vallejo's biography continues throughout the novel; while the historical and cultural data of the time alternate with the chapters that narrate the stories of peasants who are exploited in the haciendas and in the mines, as well as those belonging to the Trujillo intellectual scene.

Keywords : González Viaña; Vallejo protagonist; biographical novel; prison; politics and bohemia.
