| Résumé | By focusing on the draft quality of Echeverria's "El matadero", its popular language and the death of the "unitario", the article explores the work as a parable of on-going Argentine violence. "La fiesea del monstruo" by Jorge Luis Borges and Adolfo Bioy Casares narrates the killing of a bookish Jew during the Peronist era. The two stories are linked through realism and history to suggest why violent confrontations erupt in history and fiction over many years. |
