Based on the dialogue between art and episodes of violence and horror in history, as well as the configuration of the collective memory, this article aims to inquire into the implications of the fictional-testimonial discourse as a mechanism for the building of collective past in La ceiba de la memoria by Roberto Burgos Cantor. This reflection includes three analytical perspectives: the fictional configuration of a discursive genre characteristic of history; the way in which this procedure transcends certain limits of the testimonial logic, and the possibilities of meaning that arise from the non-dialogicity of the testimony expression in the novel.
