Abstract

CHAVARIN GONZALEZ, Marco Antonio. Portraying the southern border of Mexico within the narrative: Six Guatemalan short stories. LiminaR [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.2, e909.  Epub Oct 31, 2022. ISSN 2007-8900.  https://doi.org/10.29043/liminar.v20i2.909.

Based on an analysis of six texts from three anthologies of Guatemalan short stories, I endeavor to understand some of the representative features of the poetics of 20th and 21st century writers in relation to the concerns they reveal, in keeping with the times in which they were written. In this sense, I also try to encourage dialogue between the diachronic vision of the first anthology with the regionalism of the second, while recognizing the newest writers of the third anthology.

Keywords : Guatemalan short stories; Hispanic American narrative; literature and society.
