Resumen

Este artículo analiza la novela Solar Bones (2016), de Mike McCormack, que narra en una única frase la vida de Marcus Conway dentro del contexto del Tigre Celta irlandés de 2008, a punto de colapsar. Se adoptan los preceptos narratológicos de la escritura experimental, especialmente el uso de flujos de con ciencia, y la teoría de la hauntología de Derrida, para demostrar que la novela representa una tensión entre coherencia y colapso en la ficción post-Tigre Celta. La narración discurre desde una perspectiva post-pues el espectro de Marcus la hace realidad. La experimentación con flujos de post-conciencia y la hauntología permiten a McCormack desarrollar mecanismos estéticos para dar respuesta a problemas derivados del fenómeno del Tigre Celta.
