abstract="Juan, the protagonist of Corazón tan bianco (1992) by Javier Marias, examines his identity through an investigation of his father's marriages, which are shrouded in secrets and suicide. A critical analysis based on Elizabeth Grosz's Volatile Bodies: Toward a Corporeal Feminism (1994) shows how instances of suicide in the novel connect the female body to violent suffering while also serving as a liberating experience for the validation of masculinity. In search of a self-interested narrative of masculine identity, Juan becomes a voyeuristic translator of the inscriptions of suicide on women's bodies. © 2018 Revista Canadiense de Estudios Hispanicos.
