Abstract
In this review, Dr. Camarero analyzes the narrative plot of a different novel: Kartápolis. Kartápolis is a dense, abrupt, even overwhelming novel, certainly, but above all it is a polyphonic novel, in which the different voices of the characters are ordered successively, as if transported by a certain instantaneity of the narrative action. The author integrates the novel into neocostumbrismo (in the style of La Colmena de Cela) and the Valleinclanesco “esperpento”. This novel by José Siles, Kartápolis, is a multifaceted and polyhedral narrative, in which the translation of a social reality, somewhat costumbrista, is supported and promoted by a modern, innovative polyphonic mechanism.
