Constellations I: Essays on Narrative Theory and Comparative Literature

Fundamental reflections on narrative theory, metaphorical narration, and comparative literature.

In *Constelaciones I: Essays on Narrative Theory and Comparative Literature*, Luz Aurora Pimentel brings together some of her fundamental reflections on the forms of the narrative. With the rigor of theory and the sensitivity of close reading, the book maps out the landscape of fictional narrative: its perspectives, its ways of representing consciousness and space, its metaphorical power, and its dialogues with other arts. An invitation to delve into the critical universe of a life dedicated to literature.
