The novels of Spanish author Antonio Muoz Molina generally are characterized as hybrids, inserting non-fictional genres within the frame of a novelistic work. Although Ventanas de Manhattan (2004) is presented as a diary or even as a travelling journal, this article argues that the work shows a hybrid generic form. Founded upon a theoretical frame, it establishes the components that lead to the characterization of the work as autofictional. Subsequently this article focuses on the construction of the first-person character as a fictional structure, based on literary archetypes.
