This article focusses on the aspects that make Julián López’s novel Una muchacha muy bella (2013) original. First, we will examine how this text compares to other stories written by the post-dictatorial Argentine “second generation”. Then we will look into the strategies used by the narrator to cope with the trauma of his mother’s disappearance, where ellipsis, which in turn leads to compensating techniques, seems particularly noticeable.  Finally, we will focus on a number of interventions of the text – such as the poeticization of experience and the importance attached to reading – that make it go against the flow and destabilize certain predominant practices in the contemporary literary field.KEY WORDS: the literature of the second generation, contemporary argentine narrative prose, Julián Lópe
