Abstract

Abstract: This paper reexamines the different types of irony present in La Glòria del doctor Larén (1936), Pere Calders’s first novel. These include meta-fictional reflections by narrators and characters and other ironic means within reach of the narrator in the exercise of his functions, the author’s irony in the preface, irony of situation, verbal irony and parody. Through the diversity and recurrence of its ironies, the analysis shows that La Glòria del doctor Larén provides the basis for identifying the author’s poetic irony with the character, functions and style characteristic of Calder’s production of maturity..

Key words: irony, metafiction, parody, Pere Calders, La Glòria del doctor Larén.
