        This article explores the way in which Missing (una investigación) plays with the limits between fiction and non-fiction in dealing with two of the most prominent issues of the politico-historical Chilean context of the twentieth century: exile and disappearance. It does so through a close reading of the novel's narrative form and its relationship to the context that the novel addresses. It attempts to demonstrate that, despite its setting outside Chile and an author who is apparently not interested in ideological debates, the novel is charged with local Chilean socio-political issues inherited from the second half of the twentieth century and presents us with an alternative approach to those issues, as well a problematic reading of them.
        Este artículo explora la manera en que Missing (una investigación) juega con los límites entre la ficción y la no ficción como marco de su tratamiento de dos de los asuntos más prominentes del contexto político-histórico chileno del siglo veinte: el exilio y la desaparición. El análisis se enfoca en la forma narrativa y cómo esta se relaciona con el contexto mencionado para demostrar que, si bien ambientada fuera de Chile y un autor aparentemente desinteresado en los debates ideológicos, la novela está cargada de asuntos sociopolíticos del contexto chileno de la segunda mitad del siglo veinte, presentándonos un acercamiento alternativo a tales asuntos y proponiendo una lectura problemática de estos.
