GONZALEZ VELAZCO, Diego. From dairy to epiphany: a post-autonomous reading of Mario Levrero’s La novela luminosa. Connotas. Rev. crit. teór. lit. [online]. 2021, n.22, pp.35-58.  Epub 18-Jun-2021. ISSN 2448-6019.  https://doi.org/10.36798/critlit.vi22.366.

The work of Mario Levrero has generated multiple debates for its narrative construction, the use of nonsense that reminds the one by Lewis Carroll and, in the case of La novela luminosa, the writing of a reflexive work in the form of an intimate diary. This work explains a critic reading of Levrero's La novela luminosa, from a conception that goes beyond the literary autonomy, that is to say, the post-autonomy conception, a concept by Josefina Ludmer; to speak about the emergence of new critic writings and ways of reading that are built on a rethoric of testimony, thought from the researcher Beatriz Sarlo. Thus configuring territorialities and temporalities of the present, where the past is rememorated in the now, and the conception of a future has been lost. Similarly, this work explores the construction of a neo-epiphany, a concept by Óscar Brando, about the conception of death by the author-narrator, given by the new conceptions of temporality and the precepts of postmodernity.
