Abstract

This paper focuses on the analysis of El cerco oblicuo, by Gonzalo Hidalgo Bayal. We are in front of an extremely intricate work, not only because of its subject matter and structural components, but also due to the remarkable complexity of its narrative. The Goldberg Variations and Moëbius’s Bandare are two of the axes on which structure this novel is built. The image of the labyrinth is shown as a mythical space (material labyrinth), as an evocation of the search for the meaning of life (moral or mental labyrinth) and as a linguistic and literary construction (verbal labyrinth). This analysis has been carried out taking into account some of the key elements present in the narrative style of Rafael Sánchez Ferlosio, who is Hidalgo Bayal’s mentor.
