Abstract

Varied and antithetical discourses constitute the narrative world’sTengomiedo torero, 2001, Pedro Lemebel (1952-2015). The topic of the novel, a historical circumstance: the ambush to the dictator Augusto Pinochet, in 1986, recreated from the perspective of the fiction. In the story, there is not only one voice, but a multiplicity of voices, each one from its truth, and all of them, in their simultaneity, reveal the fate of a time, a few characters, a space-time, built using an irreverent language denouncing social and politically. Intersect: the military world, Pinochet, the Generals and the "soldiers"; Lucia Hiriat and the wives of the military; Carlos and the revolutionaries of the Manuel Rodriguez Patriotic Front; the protagonist, the Crazy Woman of the Front and her friends; and, in the background, radio Cooperativa, which announces and denounces incidents.
