Cervantine Lessons: Parody, Perspectivism and Metafiction in Andrés Marínez Oria’s Invitación a la melancolía

This paper examines the influence of Cervantes in Andrés Martínez Oria’s Invitación a la melancolía (2013). This influence affects key aspects of the novel (themes, narrative techniques, characters, episodes, intertextual allusions...), especially those newer techniques that exploit the most refreshing novels of the twentieth century: perspectivism and reflection on the act itself to write. To which we must add its parodic purpose regarding a narrative genre quite in vogue today in Spanish literature: the novel of “autofiction”.
