Abstract

La Nena” is one of the short-stories generated by the narrative machine of Ricardo Piglia’s novel La ciudad ausente (1992), and it proves to be the key for understanding the capacity of the storytelling process to function  as a tool for  the reconstruction of the narrating subject and its  experiences. Besides that, it hides the story of Laura, “la nena” that is mentioned in the title, a story that parallels  the story of the machine that created it, allowing, in part, to understand its  points of origin and its programming. “La nena” is also a tale generated according to the central theme of loss which sustains not only n the story history of the machine’s origin, but also that of the novel and of other short-stories within.
