| Sumario: | This article points out that, in the first decade of the twenty-first century, the question of how to tell the horror endured during Latin American dictatorships is still alive. Two novels, published in the same period but taking very distant places as referents, are analyzed: Dos veces Junio by the Argentinian writer Martín Kohan (2002) and Insensatez by the Salvadorean writer Horacio Castellanos Moya (2004). In both works, the approach to this painful issue is taking distance. Through different procedures, like a narrator in first person placed between the author and the facts, irony, mathematical or poetic discourse, both novels make clear the necessity of “correcting” the voices of victims and oppressors as a means of making the narration possible. |
