| Sumario: | In Virgilio Pinera’s narrative, irony is presented as a modality of thought that responds to the critical and transgressive need of the Cuban writer, who resorts to the elusive nature of this literary figuration to create narrative texts that constantly question reality on a complex interpretive level, which mainly focuses on the critique of official culture, be it religion, the State, morality, literary canon, modern man. Through the phases of Pere Ballart's ironic minimum, some texts from Cuentos fríos and La carne de René are analyzed with the purpose of explaining irony as an articulating procedure or constructive principle in Virgilio Piñera's narrative, and, consequently, the individual and social critique that the author proposes. |
