It was part of These Thirteen, a book composed of Faulkner’s successful stories written during a turning point of his life: prior to the publication of his best-known novels (Sanctuary, The sound and Fury and As I lay Dying). This short story represents a crucial moment in Faulkner’s career, a period of seeking for an organic style that could comprehend the true nature and the poetic voice of the South. The proximity to death, structural racism and the postbellum conflicts on identity are present in the images that Quentin narrates in this short story. By being both emotionally involved in the course of events and maintaining a critically distant point of view, Quentin illustrates the complexity of narrative structure and elements implemented by Faulkner. Este artículo analiza las principales características del narrador en la literatura de William Faulkner a partir de la mirada de uno de sus personajes más recurrentes, Quentin Compson, en Ese sol del atardecer. Dicho texto formó parte de Estos trece, un libro compuesto por los cuentos más exitosos del autor, escritos durante un momento crucial de su carrera, previo a la publicación de sus novelas más conocidas (Santuario, El sonido y la furia y Mientras agonizo). Se trata de un momento bisagra en la búsqueda de Faulkner por un estilo propio que refleja la verdadera naturaleza y la voz poética del sur. La proximidad con la muerte, el racismo estructural y los conflictos identitarios del sur postbellum están tematizados en el estilo y las imágenes con que Quentin narra esta historia. Involucrado emocionalmente en los hechos pero con suficiente distancia crítica como para narrarlos, el joven Quentin es un ejemplo de la complejidad narrativa diseñada por Faulkner Universidad Nacional del Nordeste.
