Resumen

The aim of this paper is to analyze La luz argentina (1983), by César Aira, based on the verification that it constitutes the first urban-themed piece in the writer’s work. Our hypothesisisthattheprolificseriesthatmakesuptheurbancycleinAira’swork,identified almostexclusivelywiththeFlorescycle,isactuallyinauguratedwiththisnovel.AlthoughLa luz argentina tells a story of interiors in which the city appears mostly indirectly, the characters’refugeofintimacydoesnotconstituteahermeticandimpermeablespacebut,on thecontrary,ishauntedbytheoutside.Thus,thecityimposesitsghostlypresenceevenin domesticlifeandnotonlythroughthenocturnalexcursionsof thecharacters.
