Abstract

This article examines Eduardo Mendicutti’s 1982 novel Una mala noche la tiene cualquiera [Anyone Can Have a Bad Night] from the point of view of historical memory and autobiographical fiction. The novel represents in a strikingly ironic but also historical way the confusion felt by many Spaniards during the night of 23-F. It presents the first-person reflections of an atypical, marginalized character who ponders the consequences that a return of the dictatorship would bring about for her and ultimately endorses the King’s actions. This article explores the relation between the specific linguistic expression of a marginalized narrative voice and the monologue in as much as it draws on autobiographical fiction.
