Manucho and me: "Cecil" (1972) or how to autobiography a metanovel

Abstract
This article is aimed at studying Cecil (1972), a short novel written by Argentinian Manuel Mujica Lainez, author of noted titles such as Bomarzo (1962) or El Unicornio (1965). This work will be analysed in order to vindicate it and make it known, given that this is a book that has always been considered as a minor one in the general production of Mujica. Special attention will be paid to two concrete approaches: on the one hand, I will examine the metafiction contained in the novel and the autobiographical form in which it is shaped, and, on the other, I will tackle a narratological analysis of the aforementioned work, stressing the influence of Miguel de Cervantes and homages given to El coloquio de los perros.Downloads
