Isabel Allende's Paula is proposed as a metarealistic work in which multigeneric discourse
and form are paradigmatic of the substance of the text. Founded on the real, yet more than a
memoir, it approaches the novelesque in the Bakhtinian sense of the word, owing to
Allende's special adaptation of the diverse and stratified languages to her semantic and
expressive intention.
