A re-reading of El lugar sin límites by José Donoso

Abstract

This work is a new view of the novel El lugar sin límites, written by José Donoso, regarding its allegorical composition, its spacial disposition and its mythical structure. We conclude that this novel continues being relevant not only because it criticizes social and sexual norms, but also because deconstruct binarism. We also make a relationship between this novel and an essay where Donoso explains the circumstances in which he wrote it.
