Abstract:
This paper analyzes the humorous rewriting of the apocalyptic discourse in Cristóbal Nonato (1987) by Carlos Fuentes. The revolutionnary utopia of the traditional apocalyptic discourse is questionned through the novel’s radical scepticism. However, Mexico’s scatological and grotesque portrait, submerged by garbage and excrements, does not prevent literature to fulfill a redemptive function in a postapocalyptic society where the end is no longer imminent but immanent (Kermode).
