The poet must die: fantasy, anguish and violence in "Nos espera la noche" by Espido Freire
Abstract
This research paper analyses from an aesthetic and formal study the novel Nos espera la noche (2003) by Espido Freire (Bilbao, 1974). This implies to understand the spatial and temporal features of a mythical and anguished city-character, Gyomaendrod, which transcends the traditional epic genre and the fairy tales. In addition, it is necessary to understand the power and his heartbreaking violence, physical and symbolic, especially in female characters. Finally, I will compose a peculiar panegyric to the poet, to art. For that purpose, I will use interdisciplinary methodological tools such as narratology, philosophy, sociology and psychoanalysis.
