| Sumario: | María Luisa Puga’s Diario del dolor is part of the generic intersection of the fictional and the autobiographical. The text raises the question about how it is possible to tell the disease and the main symptom, the pain that acquires prosopopoeic dimensions. The writing rehearses the ways of narrating that devastated life experience, forced to adapt to survive. The spaces of the language, the desk and the notebook thread the intimate and the social, the affections, the rituals and the daily obstacles of a suffering body. We will review here the core concepts of body (Coourtine), disease (Sontag, Laplantine) and pain (Le Breton) among others, which allow us to account for Puga's aesthetic proposal. |
