The aim of this article is to present the novel Los topos and the book of short stories 76 by Félix Bruzzone as the texts that initiate a new public narrative space where the generation of the children of the disappeared articulate their own perspective on trauma in Argentina. I propose a double reading of this new space from these two texts: first, I make an analysis of the reconfiguration of the Argentine literary field after 2001 and how the case of Bruzzone, with an organically fluid transit between independent and commercial publishers and local and international circuits, opens the way for other later authors with a similar aesthetic and ideological position; later, I analyze in detail how Bruzzone proposes to desacralize the space of the narrable through parody and even the dialogue with genres such as crime fiction and fantasy, and the use of autofiction as a mechanism to subvert the limits of reality and fiction and deny the possibility of constructing absolute representations. In addition, I argue that the objective of these two works is to create a continuous line between repression and the disappearances of the dictatorship and the violence in the present.
