BARRERA ENDERLE, Víctor. La espiga solitaria. El duelo como escritura en la Oración del 9 de febrero de Alfonso Reyes. Valenciana [online]. 2015, vol.8, n.16, pp.159-175. ISSN 2007-2538.

The violent death of Alfonso Reyes's father General Bernardo Reyes, represented a turning point in the life and work of the child. After the death, came, to Alfonso Reyes, a sort of prolonged exile where he refuged writing. A good deal of his work contains references to this tragic event; however it is in the essay "Oración del 9 de febrero" the place in which he explicitly addresses the issue. In this paper I will discuss how Reyes makes writing a sort of duel to humanize the father figure, in order to be defined as a writer and as an individual who has chosen his own destiny.

Palabras llave : Mexican essay; Duel; Writing; Alfonso Reyes.
