This is therefore an operation that tends to succeed in preventing complex and painful events from falling into oblivion or being considered not interesting enough so as to be remembered. Thus, men and women, particularly those who received the information of the dictatorial events through other voices and other reading materials, will stop living in a time with no memory. Voyager by Nona Fernández (2010) and Estrellas muertas (2020) by Álvaro Bisama are two books that allude to the times of dictatorship in Chile through the reconstruction of a painful time, through the voices of those who did not experience that period. Many characters from these novels were informed through other people’s accounts in which deliberate omissions were not lacking, a question that leads to piecing together that period by appealing, on the one hand, to factual data that need to be reinterpreted and, on the other hand, to the reconstruction of a fragmented memory. Varios escritores chilenos nacidos en los 70 apelan a la memoria como un mecanismo privilegiado para que nada sea olvidado, para que todo quede a la vista. Se trata, pues, de una operación que tiende a lograr que hechos complejos y dolorosos no caigan en el olvido o no sean considerados poco interesantes de recordar. Así, hombres y mujeres, en particular quienes recibieron la información de los sucesos dictatoriales, mediada por otras voces y otras lecturas, dejarán de vivir un tiempo carente de memoria. Voyager (2010) de Nona Fernández y Estrellas muertas (2020) de Álvaro Bisama son dos libros que aluden a los tiempos de dictadura en Chile a partir de la reconstrucción de un tiempo doloroso, en la voz de quienes no vivieron esa etapa. A muchos de los personajes de estas novelas, el conocimiento les fue dado a través de relatos de otros en los que no faltaron las deliberadas omisiones, cuestión que lleva a recomponer ese tiempo apelando, por un lado, a datos fácticos que requieren ser reinterpretados y, por otro, a la reconstrucción de una memoria fragmentada.
