Deskribapena:This article analyzes the different types of narrator that appear in Graciela Montes's narrative when addressing the subject of memory, both collective and individual. The analysis focuses on the following stories: A la sombra de la Inmensa Cuchara, Otroso, Uña de dragón y Aventuras y desventuras de Casiperro del Hambre. This analysis of the stories made it possible to demonstrate how the aforementioned stories tell a silenced past so that children and young people are aware of the history on which their present is articulated. Likewise, this study shows that one of the objectives of Graciela Montes is that her child readers always contrast the sources of information when elaborating the collective memory and in this way do not forget the terrible history of the last dictatorship Argentine civic-military. In addition, with the creation of unreliable narrators such as those used in the stories under study, the writer will ensure that the child reader does not accept a single truth as imposed by the omniscient narrator. The creation of unreliable narrators in children's literature is extremely important, since it requires the children's reader to participate in it, since they lead him to imagine the assumptions raised by the narrator. The analysis of the stories was based on narratology theorists: Genette, Chatman, Barthes, Booth, among others.
