abstract="This article analyzes Enrique Vila-Matas's Suicidios ejemplares (1991). Building on one of A Brief History of Portable Literature's premises, that suicide be perpetrated within the literary sphere, I examine how this idea is linked to literary theory and how it relates to both space and text in addition to exploring the notion of the death of writing and suicide as its counterpart, Suicidios ejemplares illustrates a type of literary theory that underlines the importance of space in literature and, given that it is not bound by the passage of time typical of discourse, proposes that literature move toward the uchronia of the visual arts. © 2018 Revista Canadiense de Estudios Hispanicos.
