CANOVAS EMHART, Rodrigo  e  SCHERMAN FILER, Jorge. Challenges in the genealogy of memory of fin secular Jewish-Chilean narrative. Acta lit. [online]. 2007, n.34, pp.9-30. ISSN 0717-6848.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-68482007000100002.

In this paper we analyze three novels of Chilean-Jewish writers, who dealt with the tradition of this millenary people: Donde mejor canta un pájaro (Alejandro Jodorowsky); Por el ojo de la cerradura (Jorge Scherman Filer); and Las jaulas invisibles (Ana Vásquez-Bronfman). These novels have been composed from the figure of the genealogical tree, based on parodical, allegorical and grotesque discourses, and the humorous irony so familiar among Hebrews.
