SARDINAS FERNANDEZ, José Miguel. Tiempo destrozado, by Amparo Dávila, as a cycle short story. Revista Col. San Luis [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.20, pp.169-190.  Epub 14-Mar-2022. ISSN 2007-8846.  https://doi.org/10.21696/rcsl92020191023.

This paper aims to identify and describe features of the book Tiempo destrozado (1959), by Amparo Davila (Zacatecas, Mexico, 1928), which allow us to link it to the genre of story cycles and value the productivity of this concept in the generation of two levels of meaning: relations between stories and a book as a whole. The affiliation of the book to the story cycles is shown by the functioning of a unifying topic and dynamic patterns. The book is a sample of lives destroyed by the presence, action, intervention or absence of characters that are part of the environment of the protagonists. This is the first study of Tiempo destrozado with the method of story cycles in which an interpretation is given of the sense of destruction that articulates the whole volume, based on the analysis of the stories and the relationships within the whole.

Palavras-chave : Latin American literature; Mexican story of the 20th century; story cycles; Amparo Davila; Tiempo destrozado.
