SUMMARY:

The present work has the purpose of scrutinizing the narrative of Juan Carlos Onetti, in particular the so-called cycle of Santa María. Initially, we intended to make a theoretical approach, drawing especially from ideas related to the baroque and the classic, to analyze the set of texts from Santa María. The main purpose was to better understand, from the classical-baroque dyad, some central characteristics of the author's writing, namely: intertextuality – or the self-referentiality that, being so intense, borders on a proposal of a total literary work –, metalanguage – as we talk about a literature that analyzes literary creation as it creates itself – and the obsessive fictional rewriting about simulacrums, dualities and hoaxes; something that was once called the imposture game. This initiative is present in the study, however the plurivocity of potential interpretations of the author's writings and the narrative complexity that came to the surface made us embark on a much more essayistic journey with the aims of getting closer to such a particular literary proposal. Onetti is a writer who dedicated his life – more than 60 years of it, at least – to writing fiction about the precariousness of our discourses, characters, stories, and narratives; and he did so by creating speeches, characters, stories and narratives that were just as precarious, but with a clear awareness of their condition. It is a narrative that intends to be total, but elaborated on the faults, absences, misunderstandings, and flaws. Throughout this work, therefore, we sought a myriad of parallels that would allow us some understanding of a literary construction that, on the one hand, brings modernity and the avant-garde to Spanish-American literature and, on the other, tries to undermine the surface of the abstruse (and absurd) condition that some call existence. To this end, we dedicated a long time to analyzing the writer's texts in the light of the literature of the late 19th century (using authors such as Tolstoy, Conrad and Henry James), of the literary vanguards of the early 20th century (with an obvious emphasis on Faulkner), of the rio-platense literature of the period (with all attention to Arlt and Borges) and even of the contemporary literature. The result achieved was a sort of long literary essay on Onetti's narrative.
