This paper explores the relationship between literature, intertextuality and memory, central topics in the narrative of Vásquez and Abad Faciolince, examining in detail the functions of literary tradition in memory discourse. Collective memory can be manifested in literature by the use of intertextuality and symbolic figures of memory: a literary text can be transformed by intertextual strategies in a symbol of the memory of a cultural area. In the analysed novels, certain poems are crucial intertexts, as they can create the sensation of a shared past, represented in literature.
