OJEDA, Ruby. A look into the work of Salvador Garmendia from literary criticism. Letras [online]. 2010, vol.52, n.82, pp.89-116. ISSN 0459-1283.

On the basis of the importance of critical literary studies for the conformation and diffusion of the processes of construction of Venezuelan cultural imagery, a vision of these is presented with regards to the literary work of Salvador Garmendia. In this sense, the opinions of Liscano (1995), Delprat (2004), Jiménez (2007), among others, were considered. This study aimed at characterizing the work of Garmendia from the view of current literary criticism. It is supported on Fish’s theory (1989) that characterizes the critic as an "informed reader", producing a plurality of interpretations. This research is of a documentary nature and is supported on the analysis of the opinions expressed by literary critics on the garmendian work. Among other things, one can conclude that the garmendian literature is innovative in its treatment of the city as element that affects man and is loaded with highly referential language.

Palabras clave : informed reader; Salvador Garmendia; garmendian literature.
