%X this essay aims to revisit the production of a rather neglected chilean writer, carlos sep¨²lveda leyton (1895-1941). through the analyses of his novels hijuna and comrade, it argues that sep¨²lveda leyton is not just a transitional figure in chile¡¯s social novel tradition; on the contrary, his work constitutes a radicalization of the social novel and as such it should deserved a more notorious position in chile¡¯s literary historiography. finally, from the study of his work it emerges the need for a reconsideration of the traditional divisions between realism and avant-garde.
