Abstract

 

This article presents the literary position of Montserrat Roig through the evolution of her works: from the recuperation of historical memory to a subsequent stance in which she reflects on her personal universe, as woman and as narrator, and analyzes the cultural society to which she belongs. In the essay Dime que me quieres aunque sea mentira, the writer from Barcelona unfolds the literary universe which she creates, from her childhood memories to the breadth of the world that she wants to build. She also analyzes the relation between the essay, her narrative work and literary language, and her personal and literary relationship with Mercè Rodoreda.
