| Zusammenfassung: | Katherine Anne Porter travelled and lived in Mexico four different times between 1920 and 1930. Her experience in Mexico left an indelible trace on her writing. It was in her adoptive country that she gathered material for her future short stories. Writing non-fiction articles for both Mexican and American periodicals, she began to experiment with different narrative techniques, which she would later use in her fiction. Weaving fact with fiction, she created her own very unique form of storytelling. This short study will concentrate on some of the short non-fiction articles and book reviews written during her time in Mexico, and demonstrate that she was already working on the narrative techniques, which would later be developed in her short stories. |
