Ticket to ride. The emergence of the fantastic in The House of the Angel by Beatriz Guido

Abstract

The present article proposes a study of Beatriz Guido’s novel La casa del ángel, searching its narrative heterogeneity around the homologation of evasion’s experiences. Particularly, this asimilation is observed in the deliberated change between fiction and reality. The alienation is presented, with respect to the close context, through the inclusion of various speechs, just as they functions as a way out and as an alternative subjectivity. Also, the autorreferenced writing and the appearance of characters, who are made in a symbolical way, will be another factors of our analysis. Starting from these elements, this novel arises with all its ambiguity and it allows the reading of this text as a fantastic history.
