Article Title：Narrating history through memory in three novels of post-Pinochet Chile

Abstract：
Three Chilean-writer-Jose Rodriguez Elizondo, Jose Leandro Urbina, and Alberto Fuguet - have confronted the need to construct alternative histories in an effort to circumvent revisionist history. these writers place their narratives primarily within thr context of the military regime of Augusto Pinochet by focusing on fictional characters whose treatment of history is shaped by thr subjectification of time and the inclusion of memory. In struggling to recover history (both the country's and their own), these characters demonstrate how political events in Chile became codified into an official government version of history that is strikingly different from the one the characters hold through their personal recollections.

Keywords: Rodriguez Elizondo (Jose); Urbina (Jose Leandro); Fuguet (Alberto); Chilean narrative; memory; history
