José Donoso pointed out his interest in emotion as literary ingredient and effect. This text recognizes the operation of a donosian aesthetics that promotes the inclusion of pathos through a parody of the emotive economics of tragedy. The author articulates different novelistic elements in search of a mythical experience for the reader who witnesses the sacralization of waste. This mechanism persists throughout Donoso’s production and its examination will take into account his first novel, Coronación (1957).
