In this work, the protagonist’s journey conforms to several essential elements of the classical genre of the Siglos de Oro, whereas others are denied and rewritten in a paradoxical movement typical of postmodernity. Standing out among such rewritings is the narrative motif of the impossible return to childhood, understood as the hero’s only way to redemption. This results in a picaresque narrative that has as its starting point the final stage of Francoism, a childhood of hardships in the Holy Family, and orphanhood due to the death and imprisonment of the main character’s parents following a guerilla operation. The memories of this early youth, however, seem to be a beacon of hope enlightening the darkest periods of contemporary Spain. We are facing a new kind of rogue, one who seeks to return to his childhood of misery, considering it to be the only true stage of his life, his only possible world (as well as a utopian world), in Lubomír Doležel’s terms. Contraviniendo el mito del pícaro estudiado por Claudio Guillén, el narrador asturiano Rafael Reig reafirma su propuesta literaria rindiendo tributo a los géneros populares, particularmente a la picaresca, a través de su novela Para morir iguales (2018). En esta, el camino recorrido por el protagonista suscribe varios de los elementos esenciales del género clásico de los Siglos de Oro, pero, a través de un movimiento paradójico propio de la posmodernidad, niega y reescribe otros, destacándose como móvil narrativo un regreso imposible a la infancia, entendida como única vía de redención del héroe. Se llevará a cabo de este modo una picaresca que tiene como punto de partida la última etapa del franquismo, una infancia de penurias en la Sagrada Familia y la orfandad por muerte y prisión de los padres del personaje principal a causa de una acción guerrillera. No obstante, los recuerdos de su primera juventud parecen dar luz de esperanza a una de las épocas más oscuras de la España contemporánea. Nos encontramos ante un nuevo pícaro, uno que procura el retorno a esa infancia de miseria, por considerarla la única etapa verdadera de su vida, su único mundo posible (a la vez que utópico), en términos de Lubomír Doležel. application/pdf text/html http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/filologia/article/view/10084 10.34096/filologia.n52.10084 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/filologia/article/view/10084/8850 http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/filologia/article/view/10084/8862 Derechos de autor 2021 Filología Filología; Núm. 52 (2020); 5-18 2422-6009 0071-495X rewriting picaresque myth possible worlds reescritura picaresca mito mundos posibles “Y volver, volver, volver”: picaresque rewriting and possible worlds in Para morir iguales by Rafael Reig “Y volver, volver, volver”: Reescritura picaresca y mundos posibles en Para morir iguales de Rafael Reig info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares http://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=filologia&d=10084_oai
