| | | Title | | "Chronicle of an incest foretold," International Journal of Psycho-Analysis
| | | Publisher | | Routledge for the Institute of Psycho-Analysis | | | Publication place | | London, UK | | | Publication year | | 1998 | | | Page | | 317-331 | | | Volume | | 79 | | | Issue | | 2 | | | Notes | | "In this paper the author discusses the situation of children handed over to grandparents or to other relatives of the natural parents to be brought up. She notes that such children are faced with the riddle of their own filiation and postulates that this scenario often conceals an oedipal fantasy to the effect that the child concerned is the fruit of an incestuous relationship between a grandparent and the relevant parent. Following the example of Freud, the author adduces literary models for illustration. As with the Oedipus of Sophocles, the author shows how efforts to thwart the workings of fate actually bring about the consummation of the tragedy in the form of incest, which is favoured by the confused oedipal configuration in the families of handed-over children. The main argument is based on the characters and situations of two novels by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, written at different times in his life. With reference to the psychoanalytic literature on artistic creativity, the author shows the importance of the mid-life crisis in determining how Garcia Marquez came to terms with the fact of having himself been entrusted to grandparents as a child and how this situation is reflected in the works concerned." -- Scopus | | | URL | | | |

In this study I trace the origins of this vision in the work of the Colombian writer. As a young journalist, García Márquez wrote over 800 newspaper columns, several of which demonstrate his fascination for these pinnacle moments of vision or knowledge, a momentary glimpse of all time and space, an instant where the human imagination can capture the meaning of the universe. The novelist has repeatedly pointed to his early journalism as the laboratory for his mature fiction, the site that allowed him the opportunity for literary experimentation. It is my contention that the origins of the last Buendia's epiphany can be glimpsed in several columns which represent a leitmotif in García Márquez's early writing." | | | URL | | | |
