Débora Benevides
''Débora'' is an experimental novella by Ecuadorian writer Pablo Palacio, published in Quito in October 1927. In 2007, the novella was included in a compilation of the author's complete works by publishing house Libresa. The plot of the book follows ''Teniente''—a character who's only referred to by that name and who is never fully defined— during a walk through the streets of Quito in search of a love conquest or any event of importance, which ultimately never comes. The novella is made up of a series of passages that depict several everyday events in Teniente's walk.

Some of the techniques employed in the book include stream of consciousness and metafic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
