It focuses on different relationships between literature and space, primarily: literature and particular places; and literary texts as spatially positioned. Juxtaposing Mutis’s texts suggests an architecturally based analytical method, wherein texts are exposed to and connected with one another as buildings are with landscapes.

It focuses particularly on fictional representations of state-sponsored, politically motivated murder and on how survivors negotiate a social space forever changed by unsolved crimes. The article concludes that an important consequence of political violence is that it undermines the validity of systems of representation that once seemed capable of portraying the national community. Each of the three novels interpreted here adopts a different stance regarding literary language's relationship to its ever-changing sociopolitical contexts.
