El corazón del daño (2021) by María Negroni is a linguistically and formally hybrid text that retraces the initiatory stages of an Argentine woman, who transforms from an avid reader to an established writer. The pivot of this ‘(self)portrait of an artist’ is the figure of the mother, the origin of language, before which the daughter stages her own life marked by the losses and sacrifices faced since childhood thanks to literature. Borges’ lesson and the library which also contains the works of other women writers, are the lifeline that allows the anonymous narrator-protagonist, whose editorial path are the same of the author who signs the novel, to insert herself among the great names of literature, not only Argentinian.
