En las orillas de la autoficción: las vacilaciones del autorrelato en textos de Sergio Pitol, Angelina Muñiz-Huberman y Alice Munro

Abstract

Legobiography, pseudomemories, and some kinds of fiction are border forms that, staggering between the real and the fictional, question and subvert their limits. This essay analyzes how the peculiar tension provoked by this vacillation appears in Sergio Pitol’s El arte de la fuga (1996), Angelina Muñiz-Huberman’s Molinos sin viento (2001), and some of the last texts written (2012) by Alice Munro that she has put apart from her fictions. The idea is to see what this staggering does to notions such as being, memory, and writing.
