description The work of the peruvian writer Alfredo Bryce Echenique has been the subject of multiple investigations from literary studies and social sciences, both in Peru and abroad. The peculiar narrative that it possesses is characterized, fundamentally, by the treatment of themes with Peruvian social representation, mainly, set in the second part of the 20th century. Another thematic line that he executes is the one that corresponds to the experiences of Latin Americans in Europe. The plot of his works transcends towards a social critique from the perspective of individuals who do not fit into their represented societies. To treat this narrative, he uses some novel strategies, such as orality, intertextuality, popular culture, and humor and irony. In this sense, this article analyzes the way in which Bryce Echenique uses humor and irony as effective strategies for the articulation of his first novel, A world for Julius. To do this, his own conception of humor in literature is investigated.

La obra del escritor peruano Alfredo Bryce Echenique ha sido objeto de múltiples investigaciones desde los estudios literarios y las ciencias sociales, tanto en Perú como en el extranjero. La narrativa peculiar que posee se caracteriza, fundamentalmente, por el tratamiento de temas con representación social peruana, principalmente, ambientados en la segunda parte del siglo XX. Otra línea temática que ejecuta es la que corresponde a las vivencias de los latinoamericanos en Europa. La trama argumental de sus obras trasciende hacia una crítica social desde la perspectiva de los individuos que no encajan en sus sociedades representadas. Para el tratamiento de esta narrativa, utiliza algunas estrategias novedosas, como la oralidad, la intertextualidad, la cultura popular, y el humor y la ironía. En este sentido, el presente artículo analiza la forma en que Bryce Echenique utiliza el humor y la ironía como estrategias efectivas para la articulación de su primera novela, Un mundo para Julius. Para ello, se indaga su propia concepción sobre el humor en la literatura[1].   [1]Esta investigación forma parte de la elaboración de la tesis Teoría de la novela en la narrativa de Alfredo Bryce Echenique en el Doctorado en Literatura Peruana y Latinoamericana de la UNMSM.
