Concluding Remarks: the Paradox in PanamaThe Avatar in Panamafrom which Jaramillo Levi's reader must make deductions, or it may beincomplete. While often not dealing with a linear continuous narrative,language and vocabulary thus become clues to plotting and storylinewhich consequently calls for more careful consideration on the part ofthe text’s recipient.What also strikes the reader, aside from Jaramillo Levi’sinventive means of depicting the double, is his ingenuity in seducing it, ifnot onto the pages of his fiction, into the imagination of his audience.This may be realised in a blatant way by evoking the alter-ego throughthe purposeful conjuring or summoning, through the strength of desirealone, timely coincidences (which are consistent with the nature of theuncanny), and sensory cues as was the case in the modern story of thedouble. It may also surface in a more contemporary fashion throughrecall and memory, sublimination in the form of artistic production, andthe dissolution of distinguishing features between the various levels ofconsciousness.Every thesis creates its own double: a volume of everything itleaves out. Jaramillo Levi’s prolific production guarantees a challengefor the author of any study of substantial length who strives to keep hisor her scholarship current. Since the commencement of this study,Jaramillo Levi has published at least two editions of poetry; 10 twocompilations of ensayos; 11 and at least nine collections of short stories. 12These latest publications will, no doubt, provide new material and manyopportunities for future research projects. With some luck there will bemany more cuentos to come.10 Jaramillo Levi, Entrar saliendo (Panamá: Fundación Cultural Signos, 2006); Echarraíces.

Appendix A1:Double-Speak: Interview with Enrique Jaramillo LeviAPPENDICESAppendix A1: Double-Speak: Interview with Enrique JaramilloLevi. 1On InfluencesDM: 1 Has any of the work of the following authors made animpression on you as a writer: F. Scott Fitzgerald, OscarWilde, Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Louis Stevenson, E. T. AHoffmann, Guy de Maupassant, Franz Kafka, HermanMelville, O. Henry, Vladimir Nabokov, Rubén Darío?EJL:Como escritor sólo pueden haberme influenciado, de maneradirecta, Poe y Kafka. El sentido del misterio, la planificaciónmuy cerebral, lo dramático y macabro de los cuentos de Poesin duda están presentes, con mi propio estilo y temasdiferentes, en algunos de mis cuentos. Y de Kafka se filtran elsentido del absurdo, del sinsentido de situaciones y normasque escapan a nuestro control.DM: 2 You have said that fantasy and reality “en el fondo soninseparables. Esto se nota más con personas sensibles,con artistas”. The subject of the artist and the creativewriting experience has long been debated in the domain ofpsychoanalysis. Has psychoanalysis influenced you at all?Do you give any value to psychoanalytic theory as a validinterpreter of your literature?EJL:Creo que el psicoanálisis encontrará ciertas sugerenciasneuróticas y hasta psicóticas en mis cuentos, aunque algosublimadas y bastante estilizadas literariamente hablando (sino fuera así, no serían obras literarias, sino casos clínicosdescritos). Sin duda hay una fuerte carga psicológica en todo loque escribo: de actitud, de visión de mundo, de tragediamuchas veces (sobre todo en los finales de muchos cuentos,en los que prevalece alguna forma de enajenación, de soledad,de tristeza existencial, y sobre todo de violencia, a menudoconsecuencia de la culpa, o imposición fortuita del destino). Sinembargo, no estoy consciente de que el psicoanálisis me hayainfluido como consecuencia de lecturas o estudios específicos,por más que muchas de sus premisas estén inexorablementepresentes en lo que escribo.1 “Double-Speak: Interview with Enrique Jaramillo Levi” was conducted electronicallyon Saturday, 26 June 2004 for the purposes of this doctoral thesis.i
