Abstract
CANO GALLEGO, Wilson Andrés. Artist's Novel in "La luz difícil" (The Difficult Light) by Tomás González: Art as a Break out of Reality. Íkala [online]. 2014, vol.19, n.2, pp.137-148. ISSN 0123-3432. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.ikala.v19n2a02.
Based on some ideas of the "artist novel," this article is about the novel "La luz difícil" (The hard light), by Tomás González, a Colombian writer who was born in Medellin, Antioquia in 1950. The article explores the context of this narrative tradition, showing the categories from which González's work can be read. It also reveals how the artist-character from the novel uses art as an escape from reality, which allows him to establish a dialogue with the novel's sense of life and death at the same time.
