Description:This article analyzes two novels by the Honduran-Salvadoran writer Horacio Castellanos Moya, La sirvienta y el luchador (2011) y Moronga (2018), and demonstrates that the author’s novelistic output represents a complex and all-encompassing whole. Readers glean information not only from the novels themselves but also from the space between these works of literature where many crucial historic events take place and the characters evolve. Each of Castellanos Moya’s novels can be read and enjoyed without having read his preceding work, yet the readers’ capacity to understand the nuance of each novel is deeply impacted by whether they have been able to access the interstices between the two novels.
