VADILLO BUENFIL, Carlos. La muerte del Ruiseñor, by Carlos Martín Briceño: textual space of confluence between self-fiction and the metafictive novel. Valenciana [online]. 2021, vol.14, n.28, pp.103-129.  Epub 18-Out-2021. ISSN 2007-2538.  https://doi.org/10.15174/rv.v13i28.520.

This article analyzes La muerte del Ruiseñor by Carlos Martín Briceño as a autofictional biography with metanovelesque traces, in short, as a self-metafictional creation. The compositional procedure of the novel is based on real and credible data, a writer who transmits his identity traits to an author who is the protagonist of his imagined story. To this resource are added the intimate confessions and concerns of the novel's writing process that the fictional author elaborates on the Yucatecan troubadour Guty Cárdenas, a historical protagonist who reveals homologies with the empirical novelist and the fictional novelist of the story. The aforementioned narrative mechanisms induce us to consider the debut of the Merida writer from the perspective of the auto-metanovela.
