Abstract

The object of this investigation is to study the impact of Corona virus on the novelistic invention of the Chilean author Cristian Alarcón, especially in his first fictional novel, The Third Paradise (2022), which in turn provokes the Chilean writer's intuition to return to his roots and ancestors, cultivating a novel in which the historical, the autobiographical, and the botanical intersect, as we will see below.
First, we begin with a critical-analytical study of The Third Paradise, investigating the impact of the period of widespread confinement in 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Then, we examine the historical, autobiographical, and botanical crossroads in this novel.
Second, this work aims to designate the narrative technique, determining the influence of Corona virus on the point of view, the spatial and temporal dimensions, and language, as revealed in this novel under study.
