A cross-cultural methodology has been followed in order to study a literary output stemming from the experience of bilingualism as well as from the association of two distinct cultural memories. The Spanish-born writer embarked on a journey where he delved into Spain's forgotten memory 每he left a country devastated by a san-guinary civil war, in the throes of Franco's dictatorship; but he also combined it with an out-look on the French way of life, France being the country where he was living at the time. Agust赤n G車mez-Arcos thus developed a genuine cross-cultural project within his novels; this paper explores its outcome in the relationship between the writer and his French-speaking readers. This aesthetic and cross-cultural project would reach its conclusion in two novels left unpublished in spite of himself. %K Agust赤n G車mez-Arcos %K cross-cultural literature %K memory %K myth %K exile %K otherness. %U http://cedille.webs.ull.es/9/01alacid.pdf
