Professor of Hispanic Studies Santiago Tejerina-Canal has published an article "La 'super/ficción' de G.T.B. (y La saga/fuga de J.B.)" in La tabla redonda: Anuario de estudios torrentinos nº 3, 2005, pp. 83-104, a yearly Spanish literary review entirely devoted to Spanish novelist Gonzalo Torrente Ballester. 

The abstract reads: "With his deep knowledge of the theory and practice of classical rhetoric and modern stylistics/linguistics, Gonzalo Torrente Ballester proposes in his works the meta-linguistics of dialogism. He leaves behind the typology of the creative symbol of the old and theocentric epics of anonymous characters created from authoritative "inspiration." Moreover, he goes beyond the semiology of the imitative sign of the modern and anthropocentric novel of concrete characters born in mono-logical "influence." Torrente proposes the semiotics of the contextual utterance of the postmodern and auto-centric "super-text" of characters of protean nature originated in dialogic "intertextuality" This is the interpretation shown in "The Super/Fiction of G.T.B." starting from its very title to fully shed light across our study on The Saga/Fugue of J.B." The literary theory of Bajtin, Bloom, Eco, Gennette, Hutcheon, Kristeva, Lyotard, Ortega, Rabinowitz (Peter), Ricardou, Sarduy, Todorov, and other well-known world critics has given me the tools to understand Torrente's narrative.
