Javier Marías por Javier Marías : autoficción y metanarrativa en Negra espalda del tiempo y Los enamoramientos

摘要

This article analysis the characteristics of the autofictional genre in Javier Marías’ novel Los enamoramientos (2011). Bear in mind the category of the model reader created by the text; it is possible to determine a unvarying author’s search for meta-fictional isotopes. These isotopes take us to his previous essays, novels and commentary of his own novels’ narrative strategies. The auto-referential strategy highlights even more the author’s interference with his fictional text and the default position of the deconstruction of the postmodern ‘I’. The author creates a clear relationship between Los enamoramientos (2011) and his ‘false novel’ Negra espalda del tiempo (1998): a hybrid text in which the author plays with the concepts of fictionality and autobiography, creating a tension between the fictional and the empirical world.
