This essay will focus on the possibility to read Murallas (2015) written by Mexican author Gabriel Bernal Granados, as a novella, specifically, as a novella about memory and self-discovery. In Mexico this tradition would include works such as Elsinore: un cuaderno by Salvador Elizondo, Las batallas en el desierto by José Emilio Pacheco and Unión by Juan García Ponce, for example. In addition, the article seeks to explore some elements that constitute the poetics of Murallas; topics such as unity, dispersion and fissure are mainly explored.
