In this essay, the story “The handsomest drowned man in the world”, written by Gabriel García Márquez (2014), is analyzed, considering the “essential” discourse that materializes solitude in the narrative. In the intermittent reunion that constitutes the essential discourse, according to Blanchot, we will observe the ways in which the drowned man sees solitude on two levels, understanding that this movement deprives the drowned man of being and reveals a kind of image about him that apart from everything that approaches him: solitude in the world and essential solitude. The body of the drowned man, that shies away from a representation, is consistent with the image of the story itself and reveals a diffuse and complex image of presence/absence, visibility/invisibility, an image that spreads through the texture of language that the narrative presents. This reading departs from postulates by Maurice Blanchot (2011, 2010 and 2005) about literature.References
