In the three short stories to be examined, Miguel Ángel Asturias, Carlos Fuentes and Julio Cortázar incorporate Pre-Colombian beliefs and customs into colonial and post-colonial Latin American reality. Their fictiona mergers of “past" and "present" insinuate the reversibility/ambiguity of dreams/representation with physical reality. They thus recognize the authentic presence of Pre-Columbian cultura in contemporary Latin American societies and put into question the validity of European North American materialism.
