Manuel Scorza, responsabilidad y olvido

Abstract

This article reviews certain aspects about literary eminence and reception, and applies them to Manuel Scorza’s work, specially his five novels grouped as a cycle named “La guerra silenciosa”. Adding and subtracting some related factors, such as the number of translations into other languages, and the tendency of being edited less and less, answers are sought regarding how relevant is his work today, and addressing the risk of it being gradually forgotten.
