This paper analyzes the esthetic and philosophical dimension of death in Las noches todas of Tomás González and Memorias de un hombre feliz of Darío Jaramillo Agudelo; in this respect, it shows how the position of the narrators is mediated by an awareness of death that affects their representation of the world, and sets up a type of novel that departs from skepticism and incorporates fullness, to discover new modulations of death. Finally, the need to start a history of death in Colombian literature is noted.
