Autoficción de un gozador de placeres efímeros

in this paper, manuel vicent's trilogy, contra paraíso, tranvía a la malvarrosa and jardín de villa valeria, is described and analysed as a 'biographic autofiction'. these books are usually presented as novels, but they have a close relation with the author's life. so they are in between a 'fictitious pact' and 'autobiographic pact'. the author faces the double challenge of considering his writings as literary creation and reviewing at the same time his personal and collective past as a mark in the depths of the 'self'. besides it shows the origin of his learning and apprenticeship as a writer.
