Abstract

NUNEZ, César A.. Macacos, orangutanes y gorilas: la narrativa “americana” de Francisco Ayala. Olivar [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.37, e139. ISSN 1852-4478.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/18524478e139.

The concept of “national literature” is especially complex when it comes to interpreting the works written by Spanish exiles who developed a large part of their work in exile as long as the one caused by the Franco dictatorship. The case of Historia de macacos or Muertes de perro, narratives by Francisco Ayala that are the result of a project explicitly formulated in 1949, is notable. In them, it is possible to read an intervention in the political discussion about the Peronism. The article seeks to read that intervention and show the dialogue that Ayala’s work presents, its links with the Argentine cultural and political world. In summary, it is convenient to qualify the strict affiliation of this narrative to a restricted national scope and recompose its multiple space of meanings.

Keywords : Exile; Literature; Politics; Peronismo; Representation.
