T1 Realidad y creación de mundos: Riddley Walker o el mito devaluado
A1 Prieto Pablos, Juan Antonio
AB All narratives are organized according to a similar structure whoseorigins are rooted in ancient myths and rites. There are variations in thepattern, which do not affect the original structure, but can be meaningful inthe sense that they provide clues for the interpretation of reality as seen byauthors and readers.Fantasy fiction has usually been taken as the narrative least connectedwith reality. This is not so in a great many representatives of the genre, inwhich a description —often critical— of a segment of reality is to be foundbehind the fantastic.In Riddlej Walker, the game of fantasy is marked by a fine irony thatcontributes to show different levels of interpretation. The general air of thenovel is that of comicity, but underneath can be found a criticism of therules governing our present world through the destruction that it hasprovoked (the action of the novel takes place in the future) and an attemptto show a new way to civilization, represented by the Punch and Judy showand the forsaking of all destructive sciences.
