%X the central hypothesis of this critical text is that eltit£¿s novels are permeated by a strategy: that of the essay, as understood in the etymological sense of the word, as an "attempt" or "experiment". nothing is definitive in these novels, neither the subject nor the discourse: the subject is always a figure in movement, in transit and the discourse constructs and reconstructs itself right before the reader£¿s eyes. without a doubt this is a "post-vanguard" strategy or, also, "post-modern", whose meaning the critical text tries to situate in the context of the contemporary chilean novel. even when the experimental strategy runs through all of eltit£¿s narrative order, the quotes privilege the novel por la patria.
