    Annotation:

    From the second half of the 20th century, under the trace of posestructuralism, neo-avantgardes and, specially, with the entrance in the western world of posmodernism and the neobaroque aesthetics, the narrative began a liminar stage of experimentation in resources, formats and posibilities, resketching, modifying or subverting the preestablished patterns, in a radical and impetuous way by the vanguardists, and in a withdrawn and playful one by the posmodernists. El Garabato, an original novel of the mexican writer Vicente Leñero, which moves within this field, plays with narrative and authorship specularity till it is no one novel, but three. El Garabato exposes itself as a self-referential mise en abyme split in three leves, each one embedded in between the others. It explores new scriptures until achieving a fractal structure in which each one of its own matrioshkas is related with the others and reflected by the one who contains it, raising intriguing metafictional questions. From this narrative heteroglosy, in which each one of the embedded novels shapes the next and at the same time completes the previous one, Leñero acomplish to create a playful narrative puzzle that subverts the previous canonical patterns, presenting new questions about narrative's ontology and breaking ground for heterodox paths never raised before until its appearance in 1967.
