Abstract

In this article we explore the narrative peculiarities of Picton, by Juan Pablo Riveros, a book in principle with characteristics of a journey logbook but that sets up a heterogenous conglomerate of textual registers, so that it ends up being autobiography, diary, textual commentaries, history of a poetic personality, descriptions of places, among other aspects. These diverse dimensions are exposed and discussed initiating from an initial assertion: Picton is the story of an I-Writer-Memorialist who made of the austral territories his intimate and precious literary dwelling, which nourishes him of a powerful compromise with literature, memory, and the patagonian island landscapes.
