abstract="This essay investigates the shaping of Horacio Quiroga's myth as an author haunted by death, which has turned his life story into a necrography. My first objective is to deconstruct the role that suicide plays in the constitution of this necrography. My second goal is to examine the corpus of texts in which Quiroga problematizes suicide and its limits. My rereading of his work aims to open up a more complex figure of the Uruguayan author, one that would overcome the rhetorical illusion upon which, according to Pierre Bourdieu, we sacrifice every life story as a coherent tale. © 2018 Revista Canadiense de Estudios Hispanicos.
