Revisión de la narrativa peruana de los años ochenta. Este periodo, que para muchos analistas sociales corresponde a una “década perdida”, es el fermento de importantes obras literarias en su realización formal y en sus proyecciones a las obras que vendrán en años posteriores. Debido al inicio de las acciones armadas del movimiento subversivo Sendero Luminoso (sl) —al que poco después le seguiría el Movimiento Revolucionario Túpac Amaru (mRTa)—, los noveles narradores siguieron dos caminos distintos. Por un lado, se encontraban quienes compusieron sus creaciones narrativas sobre los hechos de violencia imperantes en su entorno, en gran medida desde una perspectiva andina y testimonial. Por el otro, quienes recrearon el universo urbano y diseñaron historias y personajes con técnicas y recursos propios de la tradición poética occidental. En este segundo campo cabe resaltar la renovada presencia de la narrativa escrita por mujeres.
Exploration of Peruvian narrative during the 1980’s. This period, a “lost decade” according to many social analysts, was when several important literary pieces brewed in terms of their formal completion, and was where the projection of future works took place. Due to the onset of armed actions of the subversive movement Shining Path (known in Spanish as sl) —soon followed by Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (known in Spanish as mRTa)—, the novel narrative writers followed either of these paths: on the one side, there were those who shaped their narrative creations based on the landscape’s prevailing violent acts, from a testimonial and Andean perspective to a large extent. On the other, there were those who recreated their urban universe and conceived stories and characters with techniques and resources from the Western poetic tradition. In this last field it is noteworthy mentioning a renewed occurrence of women-written narrative.
