Sumario:This essay aims to analyze I. Acevedo’s autobiography, Una idea genial (2010), based on the traces left by the subject presented in it, Inés, as she journeys from the hostile Napaleofú toward literature. Her search for herself intertwines with the desire to escape a place where she has always felt like a foreigner. In this displacement, two figures are central: the mirror and the brilliant idea. Through the former, Inés discovers herself; she encounters an image that surprises her, yet does not make her feel entirely alien; the one present is not preceded by the in of the negative: she is an in-credible subject. Thanks to the latter, she completes her metamorphosis and reaffirms herself in the world of paper to which she has fled. Thus, the mirror and literature transform into refractors of worlds, at the intersection where it seems possible for Inés to turn her parents “outstanding” status into a brilliant idea.
