 Borges’s Fascination with Hilario Ascasubi
In his censure the nationalist critics of the first half of the twentieth century for attempting to canonize Martín Fierro as a national epic and suggesting that its appeal is being a novel in verse and not an epic, Borges was sketching out the elements of a Bakhtinian theory of dialogism.
What is new in the novel is the radical restructuring of the image of the individual and the destruction of the epic distance and transferal of the image of the individual from the distant plane to the zone of contact (Bakhtin, 35).
One could say that Martín Fierro is a hybrid in that it has interwoven characteristics of the epic and the realist novel, and it is upon this hybridity on which its originality is founded.
