DOMINGUEZ TORRES, Mario Alberto. The Mirror in La Rambla paralela [My Parallel Deaths] (2002) by Fernando Vallejo. La Palabra [online]. 2017, n.30, pp.53-68. ISSN 0121-8530.  https://doi.org/10.19053/01218530.n30.2017.6208.

The novels of the Colombian author Fernando Vallejo (1942) are auto-fictional proposals written in the first person and from a place of exile. Within them, La Rambla paralela (2002) stands out for being a novel in which the traditional first person narrator of Vallejo, creates a biographer who writes, from the third person, about the trip to Barcelona and the death of the narrator. The aim of this article is to evaluate how the unfolding of the narrator-author in the figure of the biographer allows the first to make the novel into a mirror through which he evaluates his stylistic attributes.

Palabras clave : Fernando Vallejo, La rambla paralela [My Parallel Deaths], Autofiction, Metafiction, Narcissistic narrative, Specular narrative.
