La inestabilidad de lo real en Los negros pájaros del adiós de Óscar Liera

Abstract

In this essay I propose to analyze some of the artistic forms that allow Óscar Liera to create, in Los negros pájaros del adiós, an unstable and to a certain extent ungraspable fictional world. To do this, I will attend to some essential elements of the textual composition, such as the construction of stage directions, the use of different temporal planes, and the presence of voices that testify in a problematic way about facts that are not represented before the eyes of the reader/spectator. The presence of ambiguous elements in a work like this offers us the possibility of thinking about reality in a deeper and more complex way; showing that human experience is often enigmatic, paradoxical, and that it is often difficult to distinguish what the limits are between reality and fantasy.
