La Pilarcita, by María Marull: Magical Realism, Miracle, and Carnival on the Argentine Coast
Abstract
In La Pilarcita, set on the Argentine coastline, María Marull explores the legend of a holy girl, Pilar Zaracho, and the cult that has been created around her miraculous powers. This article studies how the author combines in her text this popular celebration, which is attended annually by thousands of parishioners, with the region´s carnaval. Through a syncretic procedure, Marull achieves an interesting amalgamation, through the exploration of the Marvellous American Reality, in a text where she values the cultural heritage of a region and its identity.
