The Nothombian Metaphor: A Revealing Game of Detour
Keywords:
the metaphor, the childhood, the writing, the assassination, the love, the detour
Abstract
The metaphor perfectly serves the nothombian project of bringing to the pinnacle his favorite themes, namely childhood and writing. However, this figure is not only reversible but also turns out to be plural. The act of love, writing and murder end up being interchangeable. The metaphor is surprising in that it confuses the reader while ensuring his correct interpretation of the text.
