Abstract

This work analyzes Intramuros/La ciudad de arena (2003), Éste era un gato… (1987) and La mujer que quiso ser dios (2000) because they posses tematic and formal elements that connect among them as a triptic. Luis Arturo Ramos narrative triad is builded based on the central image of the port of Veracruz, wich represents the way memory is constructed, and the way one can return there. In the three novels, characters must to come and go in order to not lose their destiny, even though this means weaving between past and present.
