HERRERA RODRIGUEZ, Camilo. La luz difícil by Tomás González, and La balada del pajarillo by Germán Espinosa: Two Colombian Artist Novels in the 21st Century. Folios [online]. 2021, n.54, pp.141-150. Epub 20-Jan-2022. ISSN 0123-4870. https://doi.org/10.17227/folios.54-12028.
This reflection article is intended to analyze two novels: La luz difícil by Tomás González, as well as La balada del pajarillo by German Espinosa, from the point of view of the artist novel or Künstlerroman. The analysis of both narratives tries to propose a characterization of the artist as one immersed in society, occasionally acclaimed or marginalized, active or passive creator, considering, as well, other representative works of this type of novel. This, with the intention of showing the characteristic of two Colombian fictions that could be placed into the same novelistic tradition: the artist novel. Namely, the origins of the artist's novel in relation to the proposals of González and Espinosa; the appreciation of art as inherent in the artist/hero of the novel; the concept of the novel as a liberating and cathartic exercise for the artist.
