Abstract
The narrators' subjectivity can prevail over the collective perception of an event; their impartiality is questioned even before reading the text. The authors’ reality is that which is inscribed in their writing and determines what they call their truth; their history has emerged from memory and this new perception annuls previous affirmations. The autobiography of the Cuban poet, Dulce María Loynaz, that is, Fe de vida, would come close to these postulates. This “story of her life”, which aspires to talk about her second husband and not about herself, deserves a careful reading where clues could emerge that point towards other discursive purposes. When questioned about her definition of happiness, the poet assured that she had not considered herself happy and that, if she could, she would choose another life unlike the one she lived; one should meditate if that other desired life is the one that emerges in her memories. This work explores approaches to concepts pointed out as autobiographical without ruling out the possibility that Loynaz pursues other purposes in her Fe de vida.
