Bildungsroman, Mythic Tales, Horror Stories, Contemporary Ecuadorian NovelAbstract
This text analyzes the strategies that Natalia García Freire uses in her first novel to integrate, creatively and critically, the conventions of the Bildungsroman, the mythical tale and the horror story, thereby questioning gender biases in the processes of human socialization and literary canonization. Our perspective is nourished by the feminist questioning of the Bildungsroman, the myth-critical symbolism and the formal resources of the Gothic story, to show how by its conjugation a text as original as it is moving is generated.
