  • Gustavo Sainz* an Analysis Of
    RICE UNIVERSITY GUSTAVO SAINZ* AN ANALYSIS OF OBSESIVOS DIAS CIRCULARES by Dorothy Farrington Caram A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS Thesis directors signaturet Houston, Texas April, 1974 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze Obsesivos días circulares, the second novel written by the young Mexican novelist, Gustavo Sainz, while he was writer-in- residence at the State University of Iowa for the academic year, 1968-69. Gustavo Sainz has stated frequently in interviews that he wrote Obsesivos días circulares as a novel inten¬ ded for an "elite” type of reader and not for the general masses. This ‘'elite” reader is one who does not read novels solely for entertainment, but chiefly as an intel¬ lectual challenge) one who views the novel as an aesthetic object complete unto itself. In order to meet this intellectual challenge and to show how Sainz has structured his world, this investigation analyzes Obsesivos días circulares with particular attention to the structure of the narrator and the world content. The structure of the narrator in this contemporary novel is very complex despite the fact that at first view it would seem to present a first person dramatized narrator-protagon¬ ist. Sainz, being highly conversant with the techniques of Henry James, Virginia Woolf, William Faulkner, and his own mentor, James Joyce, has written a novel in which all the dialogues and descriptions are presented in streams of con¬ sciousness, in interior monologues, or in letters, with ample instances of flashback, automatic writing, montage, and oneiric descriptions.
