Proselytism and violence en Viento seco
Abstract
Literary critics have given positive evaluations of Daniel Caicedo's novel, specifically to its testimony of the atrocious actions of the political Violence in the middle of the 20th century in Colombia, as well as the denunciation of those responsible. It has, however, been evaluated negatively for its aesthetic dimension. Nonetheless, more than a rough register of those acts, Viento Seco is a narrative project guided by a political-religious view of the Violence. This work examines the essential textual mechanisms found in the definition of this ideological literary program and proposes a reading that reveals the proselytistic strategy that defines his narrative program.
