«La picardía del venezolano o el triunfo de Tío Conejo» is the essay by Axel Capriles M., published by Editorial Alfa in paperback (142 pages, in Spanish).
The author reflects on the causes and manifestations of criollo cunning from a psychoanalytic perspective. He analyzes the social valuation of the Venezuelan rogue —embodied in the astute Tío Conejo—, his relationship with a bureaucratic system and his function as a survival strategy, against the ideal of the sacrificial hero of the collective imaginary.
The work originally appeared in 2008; this edition from Editorial Alfa dates from 2016. It addresses themes of folklore, Venezuelan national character, picaresque literature and psychoanalysis.
For readers interested in Venezuelan identity, social psychology and the picaresque as a literary and cultural phenomenon.
