In this article we postulate that Juegos de la edad tardía by Luis Landero works the narrative spatiality from two points of view: a) the critical one, which supposes reading the lives of childhood as unfinished stories of the life of an artist and b) the literary one, which deepens in the manner of a rhizome the possible narratives that emerge from a larger operation, literary metafiction, understood as “oxymoron play” between reality effect and fiction. This hypothesis, in turn, conveys a larger metaphor: that of the ideological mythologizing of Catholic Nationalism, which in palimpsest terms can be read through the festive scenery of peace ideologeme under Francoism by the notion of “spatialized time”. The article is structured in three sections: an introduction, a development of the hypothesis that explains the two points of view and a conclusion.

Palabras clave : Metafiction; Life; Old age; Childhood; Catholic Nationalism.
