About the Narrative of Daniel Guebel

The poetics of Daniel Guebel defy classification. Not only because of the genre dissolution (novel, story, essay, or drama), as a visible result in the text (as a finished product), but also by procedure and form exposed in the perpetually moving writing process. Said procedure and result show their axes on love, mystics, politics, and art, favoring the mystery as a search for meaning and construction of a possible universe, articulated on a narrator focused on the events, being precise as much as descriptive, and on the kaleidoscopic profile of the character. The writings of Daniel Guebel are contentions and defiant objects, playing with the conventions of high and mass culture, cultivated and popular culture, aesthetical and sexualized words. In this way, the protocols of educated writing are denaturalized in an extreme experience between the parameters and values inherited to question contemporary conditions of sensibility in the production of art and literature.
