The Hybrid and Unspecific Diction of Veronica Stigger’s Fiction

Abstract

This article aims to examine Veronica Stigger’s fictional writing process, from the notions of hybridism and unspecificity. From the first  publications to the most recent works this writer has presented narratives that question the limits of some literary and non-literary genres, by using constructions that evidence the fusion of those same genres with other fields and/or speeches. In our reading, we point out the crossover of many genres, speeches, and dictions – comic, ironic, tragic – in her writing that make her texts “strange fruits”. Ultimately, we conclude that the intense hybridism and unspecificity in her narratives lead to blurring the limits between the traditional literary forms, which configurate Stigger’s fictions as post-autonomous.
