Abstract
Hestoria universal de Paniceiros by Xuan Bello is not an easy work to classify as genre. Drawing on the basic lines of what is known as autofiction, this article analyzes the way in which Xuan Bello takes advantage of and combines all the mechanisms that fiction offers to exalt some traditional values that are disappearing erased by the flux of modern times. The anecdotes, customs, traditions, joys and mythical fears of a people are part of a reality in the process of extinction but are recovered thanks to the influence of memory and become fiction thanks to language and imagination. In this way, Xuan Bello merges reality and fiction and shows that memory and cultural values are more durable than historical experiences
