The Continuity of Parks : La continuidad de los parques

Abstract

Through a story inside a story, fact and fiction collide. In the frame story, a man has just finished some "urgent business" in town and is returning to his home estate while reading a novel. Two lovers who gather in a lodge in the woods to destroy "that other body" are the subject of the novel he is reading, The Embedded Story. When one of the novel's protagonists, the embedded tale, inserts himself into the frame story's reality, the narrative's structure is disrupted.
