| Sumario: | When it was published, in 1958, Sara Gallardo´s Enero was a great irruption in argentine literature. The laconic and as well violente way that Gallardo uses to write about the country –against a strong tradition that put it as a wonderful place came like a fresh new to this literature. The characters that live in Gallardo´s country have many troubles. Nefer, the main character of the novel, has been raped in a party, in lines where the writing of Gallardo, specially its use of metonymy is very brilliant, and she is actually pregnant. Her long way over her friendly horse to look for the woman that use to make the abortions, a secret that everybody over that land knows, is a great moment in Gallardo´s literature. Finnally, Nefer don´t have her abortion. She is under the rude power of his mother, the church, and the owner of the land. Enero is also a novel about power. They arranged the marriage of Nefer whit the man that had raped her. Justice on this country its very peculiar. However, a strong literature becames from that unfair world. |
