- Title
De la quête de soi à la quête du récit.
- Authors
Nadim, Roxana
- Abstract
El Viaje vertical is first and foremost an inner journey undertaken by an original character : Federico Mayol is an elderly man whose peaceful and conventional life is suddenly disturbed by profound existential turmoil. In order to recover his previous composure, he embarks on an initiatory journey during which geographic roaming is coupled with a pursuit of the self, giving the novel the qualities of a coming of age novel. Little by little, the reader discovers that he is faced with a specular tale in which literary creation itself is at stake. The Bildungsroman relating the journey of an elderly man then becomes a Künstlerroman recounting his development as a writer.
