The report ‘Mutants of Andalusian Fiction’, prepared by the writer and literary critic Juan Francisco Ferré, highlights the work of a series of writers whose aesthetic approaches and content may be considered as groundbreaking within the current literary panorama. These so-called “mutants” consist of seven authors from Andalusia or established in the region which include Mario Cuenca Sandoval, Javier Fernández, Vicente Luis Mora, Braulio Ortiz Poole, Isaac Rosa, Carmen Velasco and Juan Francisco Ferré himself.
The initial intention of this study is to provide a definition of this narrative style and the current cultural and literary context, followed by a specific study of the work of each of these authors with a view to confirming this characterisation. It then turns to consider the context which has induced the emergence of this mutant fiction and establishes the concepts which may best be attributed to the same from an aesthetic, cultural, sociological and technological point of view, taking into consideration the features drawn from modern times and the so-called post-modern condition, which is the specific context in which these authors had their beginnings. The author then proposes the key attributes of the fiction emerging from this context of elimination of the modern and post-modern legacy, ending with a detailed review of the work and creative personality of the seven authors in question, the most outstanding representatives of this trend in Andalusia.
