The problem of the contemporary artist is none other than the problem of indeterminacy of meaning that during the first half of the twentieth century put almost all forms of art in a process of self-destruction whose echoes still resound. After artistic abstraction, antinovel or concrete music, representation, narrative and melody still persist. Is this a form of repentance or a different manifestation of the same phenomenon? Are we talking about regression or transgression? What kind of transgression can make a writer, thematic or structurally, to continue criticizing the limits of language without leaving the page blank and renounce writing?
