Abstract

DIZ VILLANUEVA, Alba. A Comparative Approach to the Dream-city: Mario Levrero and Mircea Cărtărescu. Lexis [online]. 2020, vol.44, n.1, pp.317-341. ISSN 0254-9239.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/lexis.202001.011.

Despite the stylistic and thematic differences between them, Mario Levrero and Mircea Cărtărescu give a main role to dreams and onirism in their narrative texts. This fact has consequences for the fictional space inasmuch as it results in an urban cultural model (dream-city). This paper analyses Levrero’s Trilogía involuntaria and Mircea Cărtărescu’s Orbitor in order to examine the specific characteristics of that model, the main differences and concomitances.

Keywords : urban space; onirism; dream-city; Trilogía involuntaria; Orbitor.
