The article compares two novels, Paul Auster's City of Glass and José María Conget's Todas las mujeres (original title, El Sueño del Juicio Final, = The Dream of the Last Judgment). It isolates a number of specific features characteristic of Postmodernist writing and shows that, notwithstanding differences in culture and background, the same strategies (intertextual reference, self-reflexivity, the use of a Forking-Paths gambit, of popular culture, of the Quest-for-text motif, of the polivalent notion of passage) and goals (reflection on the nature of writing, exposure of our cherished concept of reality, exploration of the fiction-reality interface) are to be found on both sides of the Atlantic.
