El cuarto de vidrio (posthumous work-2006) is the last novel of the Argentine writer Norah Lange. In it is privileged the space of the house, which appears here deeply personified, which dyes the history of the fantastic seal that characterizes the writers of the Boom. In this novel, Lange reiterates the aesthetics of the incredible stories, that had begun in Antes que mueran (1944), had known success and recognition with Personas en la sala (1950), and had come to Los dos retratos (1956), without the literary criticism having realized that we were in front of a totally fantastic literature or, in other words, that without deciphering that fantastic element could not be interpreted the ultimate meaning of Lange's narrative an aesthetic that is inserted in the line of fantastic literature promoted by his cousin in-law, Jorge Luis Borges, and that had wide repercussion in Hispanic America, mainly in the Río de la Plata.
