NORMAN MANEA: THE SPANISH CRITIQUE OVER THE HOOLIGAN’S RETURN

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to provide a new perspective over Norman Manea’s The hooligan’s return. In the dynamics of the national canon – international canon, the second prevails so that the discussion of our essay goes hand in hand to the bigger picture of the text, the macrodata that recommends the literary creation for the transnational canon and, of course, the international market of literature. Working with Franco Moretti's concept of World Literature, we will use second-hand criticism to highlight a new perspective on the novel The Hooligan’s return to observe its dynamics on the Spanish literary scene. For this, we will work with articles and chronicles taken from Letras Libres, ABC and La Vanguardia; such exercise will be of help in connecting Norman Manea to the field of World Literature.
