Coming into one's Own.
The Novelistic Development of Javier Marias.
GROHMANN, Alexis
Amsterdam/New York, NY, 2002, 305 pp.
Portada Hispánica 13
Javier Marías is a major contemporary Spanish novelist who has enjoyed
remarkable international success and recognition. He is a writer who has
undergone a singular and clearly discernible novelistic evolution and has
forged a very distinctive style of his own. It is this formal development
that this book traces through a study of his works from Los dominios del
lobo (1971) to Negra espalda del tiempo (1998). With the help of a wide
range of 20th-century literary theories and criticism, it strives to show
that in order to escape realism and Spanishness and to make his way into
literature, Marías forges an intricate style which progressively develops
and matures, and which creates highly suggestive and elaborate imaginative
worlds, a literature with a particular ontology, ultimately capable of
inventing reality. This book is the first full-length study of Javier
Marías's work to be published so far and serves both as an introduction to,
and a close examination of, the work of a major European writer.
