Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the influence and presence of the author’s native province in the novels and short stories of canonical Argentine writers. After a general overview of the topic, our study is focused on three writers of different generations: Manuel Puig (1932–1990), César Aira (1949–) and Guillermo Martínez (1962–). By analyzing their works, reviewing their biographies, selecting interviews and records, exploring articles that deal with their oeuvre in the context of the present topic, and investigating a corpus that includes works related to their birthplace, we will show that provincial descent left a mark on the literary work of these three authors from the southernmost country of Latin America.
