Abstract
A postmodern approach helps the Spanish novelist Enrique Vila-Matas overcome the dichotomy
between literature and reality and between desire and facts as the solution is to combine both elements.
However, this does not mean he accepts all postmodernist characteristics, as accepting hermeneutic truth
allows him to propose an aesthetic and even moral ideal that affirms the existence of a truth and certain values that go beyond absolute postmodern relativism.
