description This article examines the novels El espíritu de mis padres sigue subiendo en lluvia (2011), by Patricio Pron, and Yo la quise (2019), by Josefina Giglio, with emphasis on the ways of narrating. The tension between the lived experience and its becoming an artifice is analyzed, moving through the relationship between literature and memory from the perspective of the generation born during the Argentine dictatorship. The study recovers the concept of biographical space postulated by Arfuch articulated with Deleuze and Guattari’s notion of plan and Bakhtin’s notion of chronotope. In Pron's novel, the return of a young writer to Argentina constitutes the turning point that encompasses the story of Alberto's disappearance (2008), that of Alicia, who disappeared in Tucumán (1976), and that of the writer's parents, Iron Guard militants. In Giglio, the architecture interweaves the story of the character Yo, a writer faced with the impossibility of transforming a love relationship into fiction, that of Ella, a member of the communist party, and that of Nena and her brother after the disappearance of their parents. Both novels refer to the questions of how to narrate the experience so as to make the historical event visible. The article contributes to the conceptual problematization of the biographical space, the ways of narrating, and guides a reflection to dismantle the relationship between reality and fiction.

Este artículo examina las novelas El espíritu de mis padres sigue subiendo en la lluvia (2011), de Patricio Pron, y Yo la quise (2019), de Josefina Giglio, con énfasis en las formas de narrar, desde donde se analiza una tensión entre la experiencia vivida y su devenir en un artificio transitando la relación entre literatura y memoria desde la perspectiva de la generación nacida durante la dictadura argentina. Así, el estudio recupera el concepto de espacio biográfico postulado por Arfuch, articulado con la noción de plan perteneciente a Deleuze-Guattari y la de cronotopo de Bajtín. En la novela de Pron, el retorno de un joven escritor a la Argentina constituye el punto de inflexión a partir del cual se encabalga la historia de la desaparición de Alberto (2008), la de Alicia desaparecida en Tucumán (1976), y la de los padres del escritor, militantes de la Guardia de Hierro. En Giglio, la arquitectónica entreteje la historia del personaje Yo, un escritor reconocido, quien se halla frente a la imposibilidad de transformar en materialidad ficcional una relación amorosa de la juventud; la de Ella, una militante del partido comunista; y la de la Nena, quien relata la convivencia con su hermano y sus abuelos después de la desaparición de sus padres. Ambas novelas remiten a las preguntas sobre cómo narrar la experiencia y bajo qué formas enunciar para hacer visible el acontecimiento histórico. El artículo contribuye al campo de los estudios de la memoria y sus lenguajes artísticos, la literatura de la generación nacida en 1970. .
