We also note in it, that the reality presented is in itself a kind of questioning of the truth found. Such questioning can go from the level of meaning, where lie the concepts that are defended or fought, the level of the signifier, to put into words Saussurean. That is, the speech made to the linguistic expression. When this happens, can also become a conceptual element, which was very common in the discourse of the '60s and '70s, decades in which Latin America was plagued by fascist military dictatorships. It fought well, the reality with the magical sound feasible, on the one hand, and political reality with language and dislocated times the other. In other words, put into practice the social critique and examination of reality. But the most important, for literature, is in the expression of certain actual events across the border to the truth.
