Sumario:This article offers a close reading of El director (2005), by Gustavo Ferreyra. The analysis focuses on the rhetorical devices of what Fabián Casas has called the author’s “hallucinatory realism”. El director narrates 40 years (1966-2006) in the life of a paranoid character, who sees women as bearers of a secret related to a vast conspiracy. The bulk of the analysis pertains to the relationships between this subject and History, which eludes the dichotomy between executioners and victims, as well as the operations of reminiscence in the novel, which break with the usual attribution of an emancipa-tory value to the labour of memory.
