GONZALEZ OTERO, Angélica. Hermeneutics of Emptiness: Antonio Porchia and Expressive Brevity. La Palabra [online]. 2014, n.24, pp.69-77. ISSN 0121-8530.

The approach to short writing is a gamble in the direction of narrative silence, showing a reality stripped of rhetoric and ornaments. The writer engages in a search for the original word, the strong and universal sentence. The book Voces [Voices] by Antonio Porchia is characterized by a language of simplicity, stylistic complexity and profound reflections about existence. In this way, the central goal of this article is to emphasize the literary value of this work, at the same time as inquire into the world vision of its author, and his unconventional approach through the renunciation of the individual subject of selfhood, enabling a more honest existence in the world and in writing.

Palabras clave : Aphorism; brevity; silence; renunciation.
