As is well known, César Aira (Argentina 1949) is considered one of the most eminent contemporary writers. What is less known is that, across twenty-four novels and short stories, as well as a theatre play, he imagines himself living implausible and even impossible adventures. In Spanish, theorists refer to these creative self-narratives as autofabulaciones, and Aira's record in this realm makes him one of the most prolific autofabuladores in the world. Why does he immerse himself in so many imaginary lives? Through a close reading of his work and autofictional theory, this book proposes three complementary hypotheses related to the 1976-1983 dictatorship, literary irony, and literary play.

Sabido es que César Aira (Argentina 1949) es considerado uno de los escritores contemporáneos más eminentes. Menos sabido es que, en veinticuatro novelas y cuentos así como una obra de teatro, se imagina viviendo aventuras inverosímiles e incluso imposibles. Los teóricos se refieren a estos relatos personales altamente creativos como 'autofabulaciones', y la productividad de Aira en este campo lo convierte en uno de los 'autofabuladores' más notables del mundo. Por qué sumergirse en tantas vidas imaginarias? En un vaivén entre el análisis de su obra y la teoría autoficcional, este libro propone tres hipótesis complementarias relacionadas con la dictadura de 1976-1983, la ironía y el juego literario.
