FLORES MUNOZ, Amancio Edison. The finding and duration of love in Criba, by Julián Pérez. Desde el Sur [online]. 2019, vol.11, n.2, pp.201-216. ISSN 2076-2674.  http://dx.doi.org/10.21142/DES-1102-2019-201-216.

The aim of this article is to investigate the depiction of «love» in the novel Criba (2013) by the Peruvian writer Julián Pérez. To this end, the philosophical work of Alain Badiou is employed in order to interpret, from a literary hermeneutics perspective, the «truth» that emerges from the «finding» and «duration» of love in the «escena del Dos», in which the characters Evangelina Delgadillo and Manuel Bajalqui participate. In the same vein, although this time with an emphasis on the metatextual studies that have underlined the importance of love and sex in the work of the writer Julián Pérez, we offer an analysis that considers love as the acceptance of differences, echoing the reflections of Badiou.

Keywords : Love; disjunction; escena de Dos; finding; duration; truth; Peruvian narrative.
