Hard-boiled Pastiche in the Postmodernist Novel: Osvaldo Soriano’s Triste, solitario y final
Abstract
The article offers a quick survey of the postmodernist rewritings of hard-boiled fiction, focussing in particular on pastiche and parodistic transformations. The second part is devoted to a closer inspection of Osvaldo Soriano’s Triste, solitario y final (1973), a novel which – at the same time – parodies, continues and overthrows its model, Raymond Chandler’s stories on detective Philip Marlowe.Downloads
