Oficio de difuntos por Arturo Uslar Pietri
Inspirada en la Venezuela de Juan Vicente Gómez
El relato refleja el malogrado intento de Simón Bolívar de liberar la entonces Capitanía General de Venezuela de manos del poder español, aunque la figura del libertador no se hace presente más que de manera referencial. El estilo en esta obra señalaba matices distintos a los de la prosa galleguiana. Se imponía en la obra de Uslar Pietri una prosa fuerte y cortada de vanguardia.
La voz debió resonar huecamente en todas las cavidades de piedra De la Iglesia. Una voz pastosa, alta, pegadiza como una emulsión espesa...
Este libro comienza con la dificultad para reconocer el descubrimiento de un continente, expresada en los diversos nombres que recibe. A partir de este hecho se produjo el choque cultural más grande que se haya dado nunca. El contacto entre las culturas ibérica, indígena y negra fue conflictivo, así como difícil el acomodo a la heterogeneidad resultante.
