This work aims to explain the transcendence of memory, understood as an imaginary process, in the literary theory and creation. In doing so, we came up with the term “fabled memory” to develop a critical analysis. By studying the dialectic of memory and imagination, which has been present in the philosophical thought since the first classical treatises, it can be evinced not only the consequences of that dichotomy and its close relationship with literature, but also the compelling need of reconsidering it in the dim field of Postmodernism and the writings of the self. Specifically, the Spanish Transition Literature has emerged as one of the most eloquent about the paradox of the fabled memory. Thus, it is demonstrated here through the review of the fictional, essayistic, and paratextual oeuvre of one of its principal writers: Eduardo Mendoza.
