RIVADENEIRA, BLAS. WRITING FROM THE CATACOMBS: THERAPY, FICTIONS OF MONEY AND DARK NOVEL, A READING OF FAUNA AND DESPLAZAMIENTOS BY MARIO LEVRERO. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2021, vol.12, n.24, pp.69-86. Epub 30-Jul-2021. ISSN 2145-8987. https://doi.org/10.25025/perifrasis202112.24.04.
This article proposes that Fauna and Desplazamientos by Mario Levrero, written during the military dictatorship, mark a period of transition in his work. The Uruguayan author lived those years as an entrance to the catacombs, a suffocating environment that encouraged self-censorship and precipitated his self-exile to Buenos Aires, where he published both texts in 1987. Fauna emerges as a fictional transposition of an attempt at therapy. Desplazamientos, the dark novel, is a fiction of money that addresses the miseries of the father's ghost and works as a closure that enables the writing of La novela luminosa.
