| Descripción: | The North Region of Costa Rica has been little studied in sociocultural terms. Much less in literary terms. However, despite its low age and development, the production of that region in terms of volume and literary variety is notorious. There are consolidated writers who radiate not only to the rest of the country, but to the Central American region and beyond. Within that production stands out the work of Francisco Rodríguez Barrientos from San Carlos, both for its breadth of genres and for the theme. Rodríguez Barrientos, as far as is known, is the Costa Rican and Central American writer who, until now, has produced the most extensive and profound work in a genre rarely visited by national and contemporary writers: the aphorism. In addition, in recent years he has released part of his narrative production, which amazes not only for its creative rigor, but for its thematic and scriptural breadth: two books of narrations, three novels and an unpublished trilogy. This paper aims to analyze this work, especially the narrative, privileging a novel of historical characteristics (The thirst for days) in the framework of northern, Costa Rican and Central American literature, as a pioneering contribution in some genres and as an aesthetic approach and broad spectrum that places the northern region on the national literary map. This is one of the most visible and daring contributions in terms of strengthening their identities and their sociocultural development. |
