Abstract

The analysis in narrative fiction of Flavia Company´s novel La mitad sombría, requires to position oneself on a shifting land that will separate the main characters from the world. The book talks about chance and how it leads them to live reality from another place. The daily action is set out as a drama on stage. Divided between the before and the after, they feel the loss centered in every link that tries to unveil new ties, different ones, that had nothing to do with triumph, beauty, money, or normativity. The main focus is on constructing a turning point and coming out from what they had to do, what they had to accomplish. There are no answers from outside, it is all about tracing them.
