Parejas de enamorados, jinetes sin cabeza y aldeanos que duermen siestas de décadas confluyen en un dÃptico que parece al mismo tiempo realismo mágico y terror costumbrista. En estos dos relatos, Sleepy Hollow, o La leyenda del jinete sin cabeza, y Rip van Winkle, se encuentra la simiente del llamado Gótico Americano, que convirtió a Washington Irving en el primer escritor de una literatura genuinamente estadounidense, porque toda nación recién creada necesita nuevas leyendas, nuevos mitos, nuevos sÃmbolos; en resumen, unas señas de identidad propias. Lovers, headless horsemen, and villagers who nap for decades converge in a diptych that feels like both magical realism and folkloric horror. In these two tales--Sleepy Hollow, or The Legend of the Headless Horseman, and Rip Van Winkle--we find the seeds of what would come to be known as American Gothic. These stories established Washington Irving as the first author of a truly American literature, because every newly formed nation needs new legends, new myths, new symbols--in short, its own distinct identity.
