摘要:This article proposes a reflection on the correlations between fictionality and truth in literature through a parallel reading of two narrative sequences that develop the motif of the hero’s descent into hell: the adventure of Montesinos’ Cave in Don Quixote and the episode on the quay of Veracruz in the novel Far from Veracruz by Enrique Vila-Matas. The article underlines the role of the irrational to enhance fictionality, thereby allowing a more efficient access to the deep zones of human interiority.
