Abstract

In this article I explore the notion of narrative triangles (the fusion of three different genres) through the study of two important contemporary works: Anatomía de un instante, by Javier Cercas, and the French novel HHhH, by Laurent Binet. I show how contemporary writers are creating a specific type of novel through the combination of different narrative genres, each of which potentially keeps its original function as, in these particular cases, a novel, a historiographical work and an essay.
