Resumen
The critical reception of Jesus Moncada’s work has been determined bycritical debate that opposed rural literature and urban literature in the eighties of thetwentieth century. From this perspective, the narrative of Moncada has been identifiedwith the desire to preserve the memory of Mequinensa, disappeared under the water.The paper proposes a reading of author’s work from the historiographic metafiction inwhich the exercise of memory is not to be understood as the desire to preserve againstforgetting a lost world, but as a question about mechanisms of understanding of thereal one, about conditionings and limits on access to knowledge of history and aboutrelationship between fiction and reality. The main resources of historiographic metafic-tion analysed are: disrepute of memory, fantastic elements, fragmentation of narrativeby marginal characters of story, intertextuality, loss of reliance on narrator and irony
