The present article proposes an understanding of the novels written by children of the Argentinean detained-disappeared as instruments for mourning. Through fiction as testimony, the reader bears witness to the narrator�s living within the catastrophe of the detained-disappeared, resulting in an act of remembrance that is at the very center of the work of mourning through literature. The novels that we analyze here, Los topos by Félix Bruzzone and Diario de una princesa montonera by Mariana Eva Perez, constitute a crossroads of testimony: the inherited testimony of the disappeared parents, the testimony of growing up as children of the disappeared, and the reader�s testimony created in the act of reading.
