%X this paper makes a comparison between two formal perspectives of the novel as a genre in the twentieth-century latin american literature: the total novel of mario vargas llosa and the fragmented novel of macedonio fern¨¢ndez. from the autor¡¯s standpoint, each of these perspectives is related to the discourses of cultural globalization and localization, respectively. the novel is, thus, seen as a genre that responds in one way or another to the homogenizing dynamics of a certain kind of globalization or its discursive explosion, its atomization. this may be the diffuse key for reading which today means literature.
