description This work focuses on the study of the novel Formas de volver a casa [Ways of going home] (2011), by the Chilean writer Alejandro Zambra, with particular attention to the analysis and description of the auto-fictional procedures used. The reading of the novel attends to subjects such as memory, the past, childhood remembrances, the author’s self-exposure through fictional procedures, as well as to the name games and puzzles that determine the relationships between different characters and the author. The facts that determine the time frame of the work -two earthquakes in Chile (1985 and 2010) and the period of Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship- are also considered

Se presta especial atención en sus páginas al análisis y descripción de los procedimientos autoficcionales de los que se sirve. La lectura de la novela permitirá atender a temas como la memoria, el pasado, los recuerdos de infancia, la exposición del autor a través de una ficción, así como los juegos onomásticos que determinan las relaciones de los personajes y del autor. Se añade a lo anterior la reflexión sobre los hechos que determinan el marco temporal de la obra: dos terremotos en Chile (1985 y 2010) y el período de la Dictadura de Augusto Pinochet.
