Contrary to the 19th century’s modernist chronicles – such as Ruben Darios's or José Martí's– in which the “self” of the subject was defended (Rotker, 1992), in Leila Guerriero's narrative journalism, the subjectivity is expressed by the ways of telling chosen by her; i.e., in each process that form her writing practice, more than what is grammatically expressed. In Teoría de la gravedad (2018), the speech is codified through a particularly poetic use of the language. In these self-referential–chronicles (or profile-short story), the author recalls her childhood, her youth and her writing days from a perspective that intends to question her own privacy, through a precise dynamic of “looking” and “telling”. She represents herself in the narrative space as a limit-subject (at times, blurred) between a subjective interior and a tellable exterior, with the final purpose of finding another writing-place that can shelter her in the process of becoming more than in that of being.
