The complex narrative technique of one of Spain's most renowned
contemporary authors. The writings of Arturo Perez-Reverte, one of
Spain's most renowned contemporary authors, have been described as
a minefield. This monograph examines the complexities behind the
narrative technique employed in creating such a minefield,
including an analysis of the role played by both male and female
characters, the relevance of the past as a motif, and aspects of
the role of storytelling in creating mystery where none should
exist. Both Revertian novelsand journalistic writing are seen to be
part of an over-all game which is played between their author and
his readers. Film, too, forms part of the material reviewed as,
though Perez-Reverte is not a script writer, many films have been
based on his novels. The text-centred analysis concludes that the
themes of interest in all Revertian output revolve around two main
areas: the significance of the past, whether historical, cultural,
or literary, andthe role of the written word in communicating, in
rescuing and in challenging versions of that past in order to
combat what Perez-Reverte terms 'dismemory'. ANNE L. WALSH lectures
in Hispanic Studies at University College, Cork.
