The Taste of Nostalgia: The Case of Socorro Venegas and Laia Jufresa ()
ABSTRACT
In Mexican literature, the subject of death has been present since the
earliest texts. The novels Vestido de Novia, by Socorro Venegas, and Umami, by Laia
Jufresa, re-address this subject, but from nostalgia’s perspective, a feeling
relatively unexplored in the narrative written by young women until now.
Overcome mourning, the protagonists manage to assimilate a series of memories
that plunge them into nostalgia, getting rid of depression. This
paper will analyze both novels, aiming to point out this singularity, which
turns them into a benchmark for future studies on the subject.
