Abstract

SAMPERIO JIMENEZ, Daniel. Holiness, kratophany and depuration: the short narrative by Jesús Gardea. Valenciana [online]. 2021, vol.14, n.28, pp.241-256.  Epub Oct 18, 2021. ISSN 2007-2538.  https://doi.org/10.15174/rv.v13i28.596.

In addition to doing so with a considerable number of novels, Jesús Gardea developed another important portion of his fictional world in six storybooks. This article proposes a journey through the most significant stories of Gardea according to the purification process experienced by their language and way of narrating, as well as the greater presence of certain kratophanies in the stories. To do this, the author’s conception of writing is considered, as well as certain phenomena of his narrative such as delusions and daydreams, or the so-called “espantos” and “trastornados” that make up essential aspects of his fictional world.

Keywords : Jesús Gardea; Story; Writing; Kratophany; Negativity.
