La brevedad en el taller literario de Salvador Elizondo

Abstract

This essay has the following as its starting point: the mode of existence of the brevity in Salvador Elizondo's writing is not only associated to the matter of the narrative subgenre. His prose extends to the narration, adopts shapes, styles, and genres so diverse that the most evident thing is the incessant search of the writing's being. The note, the entry of a diary, or the phrase repeated more than once and with an equal number of variations expose a set of ideas that, added to any of the poetics that we can bleam in his work, they reveal his literary thought, which is as different vehicle discursive forms as aphorisms, fragment or short fiction. Brevity in the foundation supporting the literary workshop of Salvador Elizondo: in the brevity of writing cause the experience of writing and reflection.
