La ‘pija de oro’ en <i>Las aventuras del señor Maíz</i> de Washington Cucurto. Algunas notas
Abstract
The present article consists in notes from research in progress. They address Washington Cucurto’s writing device with respect to the “negro”’s golden dick that the narrator/character Tyson Grande/Washington Cucurto/Norberto Vega implants into himself in Las aventuras del Señor Maíz (2005). We argue that such chirurgical and body prosthesis exhibits forces (in a Deleuzian sense) which govern all of Cucurto’s/Vega’s production: social, economic, sexual and Latin American cultural forces. The golden dick is, then, a poetic condensation which exhibits the writing machine as a melancholic beast in whose body forces in struggle for literature become destabilized.
