locked Ricardo Güiraldes gold gaucho literature. Don Segundo Sombra (1926) was the novel that gave him worldwide fame a year before he died in Paris because of a lymphatic cancer. Last 2006, Sage Publications, published tales of death and blood, the first-Güiraldes narrative works in 1915. Curious is the story of a book, published alongside the book ultraist The glass bell, only seven copies sold, as stated Matthew Peace the preface entitled "The Man Without a generation." The reason for the dismal failure is that the critics laughed at the Cowbell and the notoriety of this book of poems, stories that dragged a bearing on the be Argentine gaucho. The rest of the run was thrown into the pit of Porteña the Güiraldes known that they stay in San Antonio de Areco, a total of 2,500 books, of which Adelina del Carril, his wife, managed to save a few who now have become collector's material. The language of these stories is hard, full of regionalism and pamperas expressions, but the work is sensed, however, that the art of narration that only two years after Horacio Quiroga amount to mastery of genius with crazy stories of love and death (1917). Many of the stories, notably the first, leaving the door open for the reader's imagination. In its opening is sensed and the paucity of Hispanic stories later: the above Quiroga, Rulfo, Di Benedetto and Borges, among others. His exciting stories, therefore, well worth a read because they can see the Hispanic origin of the story then we came up with the boom. Tales of death and blood is not just for experts or fans gaucho literature of afrancesado Güiraldes, but a book recommended for its quality, its good performance and the interest of the first work of a universal author.

Tomachevski claims in "Literary Theory" that genres evolve, often thanks to parody, to the intrusion of the proceedings of the works belonging to the genera low - "comic funny, unpretentious and not always decent" - in the high, and that this interference ends configure a differential paradigm. This is something that has been going on some time relation to the crime novel and the police - in our language significant examples are E. Or R. Mendoza Reig - thus forming new genera in the key of comedy governed by the dominant features of its predecessors and in turn cut off from them. "The birds circle crazy drunk," the third novel by J. Aparicio-Belmonte (London, 1971), is the latest example of the validity and importance of this type of literature.
Luis Pellet - a writer little known or unknown - and Micol Sores - a stunning and unsafe police, former girlfriend of Luis - are the central characters in a story where the rancor is the cause and consequence of everything that has happened . Luis is charged with two murders and imprisoned Micol and subjected to harsh interrogations. Since the cell, and tells fictionalized Pellitero much what happens as his tumultuous relationship with ex-girlfriend, his editor Clench Bocanegra, etc. At the same time, we read a novel by Pellet, whose character is the alter-ego of Micol, Sarita Lagos, and which realizes the coming of a messiah-of-date, issuing confusing messages like "They say A Coruna and La Coruna not. " The arrival of the Messiah profound impact on the English and world political stage and in the life of their Sarita, who is increasing tension between maintaining coming to an influential, "the leader", to the point of leading it to Rome, where he began research about the absurdities of strange and mafia cleaning ladies.
The novel is based therefore on two fictional plans to remain independent, far from referring to each other constantly, which is polluted and overlap from the first line, allowing the plane fictional reality set most effectively be as extravagant as inconsistent fantasy - or "the crowd inconsistent fantasies", to paraphrase Slavoj Žižek - recreated on the novel by Louis. Thus, if one found a piece of contemporary art is a "bright vagina" and talking - talking "in Castilian, Galician, Basque, Catalan, likely, and Castúo" - Confetti Bouncing pressing the clitoris, on the other we see the king of Spain waving the flag of the Republic - the king is color blind - or the Messiah quirky saying that "Real Madrid will hurt the referees, with subsequent response of the Generalitat of Catalonia stressing the "satanic nature Envoy doubt." The intervention, on the other hand, different narrators throughout the text, which is juxtaposed either, under which is concealed or openly presents Pellitero increases the confusion promoted by Aparicio-Belmonte from the start, creating a narrative collage circular in which all parties communicate.
"The crazy circle drunk bird is, in short, a book where the absurdity, eccentricity and sharp satire are the catalysts of a convoluted plot and fun, in that there are also reflections metaliterary, and placing the author as a the most important and original voices in a genre - the satirical thriller - in force.
