THE UNFOLDING OF THE CITY/COUNTRY IN LUÍS DILL’S “THORNY SHRUB” PLOTS

ABSTRACT:

Luís Dill introduces in his new novel, Timbirupá, the story of a decadent (and fictional) city heading for devastation. The narrative is fragmented into several parallel and non-linear personal stories that intersperse distinct geographic times and spaces in an intricate narrative configuration; elements that converge in the reflection of a country that is always in process, but that never consolidates itself.

KEYWORDS:
city; country; devastation; fragmentation
