In this work the character's self is dislocated - as in the myth of Narciso - in the middle of a game of reflexes in which symbologies, identities and narrative voices intersect.
Narcissus Mirror is an anguished person, always in anxiety, who is refuted by a certain Pedro Perez; When writing the memories about Narcissus, by inventing them, by making them look authentic, Juan Ruiz creates a novel, that is, another fiction, a book in which everything seems true, but it can be a lie, an invention, a fallacy.
The author of the memoirs of Narcissus doubts what he writes, hesitates about the validity of all knowledge, and elaborates on continuous questions that call into question the whole. The fake notebook of Narcissus Mirror is a bildungsroman as is the portrait of the adolescent artist of James Joyce.
