Resumen
A partir del poco estudiado primer libro de Elvira Orphée (Dos veranos, 1956), el artículoreflexiona acerca de los inicios literarios de la autora, llamando la atención sobre dos audacesapuestas de su entrada en escritura: la elección de un género (la novela) y de un espacio (laprovincia). Revela el carácter pionero y singular de esas orientaciones inaugurales —quetendrán sus continuidades en la obra posterior de Orphée— en relación con dos variablescontextuales: el incipiente auge de la narrativa escrita por mujeres y la también incipienteaparición de un conjunto de novelas sobre Tucumán. El análisis se detiene en el espaciorepresentado en Dos veranos: un universo precario signado por el tedio, las carencias, larabia, la humillación. Propone que, lejos de todo idilio regionalista, la novela despliega unexamen crítico de la provincia y de quienes la habitan (personajes muy complejos, plagadosde matices). La provincia está directamente ligada en el texto con la carencia lingüística: elprotagonista y otros personajes no pueden hablar porque no cuentan con las palabras, en elmarco de un desigual reparto lingüístico-territorial en un país de centros y periferias.
Taking into account Elvira Orphée’s barely studied first book (Dos veranos, 1956), this article reflects on the author’s literary beginnings. It reveals two strong decisions made initially by Orphée, which will draw a continuity with her subsequent work: the choice of a genre (novel) and a space (the province). The article points out the pioneering character and the originality these choices exhibit in relation to two contexts: the incipient rise of narrative written by women in Argentina and the also incipient publication of a group of novels about Tucumán. The analysis focuses on the way the space is represented in Dos veranos: a precarious universe marked by tedium, deficiencies, anger, humiliation. It is proposed that, far from regionalism and idyllic visions, the novel unfolds a critical examination of the province and of those who inhabit it (complex and nuanced characters). The province is directly linked in the text to the lack of language: the protagonist and other characters cannot speak because they do not have the words, in a context of an unequal linguistic-territorial distribution in a country of centers and peripheries.
