The Eruption of the Fantastic: An Approach to the Narrative of Muñoz Rengel

A brief review of current fantastic narrative would be enough to corroborate its relevance, not only thanks to the large number of canonical authors who have used it but also because of the work of publishing houses and the interest of readers. The fantastic, with its power to transgress and question the world, has become one of the most important narrative modes to penetrate human mysteries. The literary figure of Juan Jacinto Muñoz Rengel stands out within this literary framework. He is a writer from Malaga, Spain who delves deep into the postmodern fantastic through his short stories and novels. An exhaustive classification of the resources of the fantastic allows entering that narrative space, by offering a global analysis of his whole production.
