LOPEZ GONZALEZ DE ORDUNA, Helena. Mourning and Autofiction. General Reflections and a Reading of Camas gemelas (2020) by Paola Caballero Daza. La Palabra [online]. 2022, n.43, pp.122-136.  Epub Aug 10, 2022. ISSN 0121-8530.  https://doi.org/10.19053/01218530.n43.2022.13967.

This paper displays a reflection about autofiction as a literary genre and mourning as an important topic in literature. On the other hand, it shows a study of the novel by Colombian author Paola Caballero Daza Camas gemelas (2020) from a feminist, reparative and affective perspective. In this novel autofiction is a recurring topic. It is concluded that autofiction emerges to deal with an impossible mourning beyond the traditional social framework.

Keywords : memory; affects; mourning; autofiction; feminist literary critique; Colombian literature; Paola Caballero.
