This study examines the cardinal points of Goytisolo's masterpiece, the tetralogy Antagonía, and explores his experimentation with multiple techniques. Following a postmodernist/poststructuralist approach, it focuses upon the metaphorical meaning of the labyrinthine structure. It analyzes the therapeutic qualities that the narrators-protagonists find in their experiences as writers, and also the roles played by various readers, be these real or fictitious. The study also examines Goytisolo's deft articulation of straightforward exposition with parody and his trenchant criticism of Catalan society.In Spanish. La emergencia de Luis Goytisolo como uno de los más destacados novelistas españoles de la actualidad se revela con la publicación de su tetralogía Antagonía, considera por muchos críticos como uno de los experimentos narrativos más importantes en la literatura española del siglo veinte. Antonio Sobejano-Morán estudia los puntos cardinales de la obra maestra de Luis Goytisolo y explora las múltiples técnicas narrativas que utiliza el autor. Partiendo de un enfoque postmodernista/poststructuralista, Sobejano se centra en el significado metafórico presente en la estructura laberíntica de la tetralogía. Acto seguido analiza, por un lado, las cualidades terapéuticas que los narradores-protagonistas encuentran en su experiencia como escritores, y, por otro lado, los papeles que juegan los diversos lectores, sean estos reales o ficticios. El estudio de Sobejano también analiza el uso de recursos como la ironía y la parodia con los que el autor realiza una incisiva crítica de la sociedad catalana.
