Derive digitali, distopie iperreali e ibridazioni narrative in Kentukis di Samanta Schweblin

This article aims to debate some of the narrative and thematic strategies of Samanta Schweblin's novel Kentukis (published in 2018 in Buenos Aires), particularly about the implications and presence of a new technological object, named kentuki, in the lives of the many characters in the book. This contact ends up generating a series of situations and contrasts that the talent of the Argentine writer manipulates with skill, creating a novel with a hybrid structure of great originality and grip on the reader, in which there is a mixture of languages, from that of postmodern cinema to the language of the science fiction novel to that belonging to new and brand new digital technologies
