Abstract

The present article proposes a reading of El zorro de arriba y el zorro de abajo from an apocalyptic perspective. The different textual layers interwoven in the novel –the author’s diaries, the pre-hispanic myths and the narrative plot itself– are articulated in a way that resonates specifically with the apocalypsis in order to represent the social collapse brought on by capitalist modernity in Peru during the seventies.
