The work of Gilles Archambault offers a sustained reflection on fatherhood. It describes three generations of men: authoritarian and contemptuous grandfathers, worried and guilt-ridden fathers, and sons and daughters by whom they are relentlessly judged. The novelist pays most attention to the twofold experience of the middle generation consisting of those who are both fathers and sons. The author of this article examines the constants in the portrait of fatherhood that emerges from Archambault's work as a whole, while also showing how the picture has changed over the decades.

Distancia de rescate (2014) by the Argentine writer Samanta Schweblin, the novella at the core of this analysis, is a paradigmatic example in which several representative aspects of contemporary maternity discourses converge. In this article, I examine how the ambivalent mother-child bond is built and problematized in the context of the Argentine countryside in the twenty-first century. Moreover, and from a pathological perspective, I analyze the obsessive maternal behavior in the toxic space that Distancia de rescate depicts, both literally and metaphorically. I interpret the ambivalence and obsession of the mother-child relationship and its normalization in contemporary literary discourse.
