The Revolution’s Neverending Stories: Liliana Heker’s El fin de la historiaFootnote*While the novel’s title is deliberately polysemic, referring both to the end of history and to the end of the story (the novel), the author is most likely referring to the end of history in the Fukuyama sense of the definitive and universal triumph of Western liberal democracy. Heker maintains in her article 1999 ‘Contra el poder’: ‘After all also the expiration of utopias, and the death of ideologies, and the end of history are nothing more than tactics woven and imposed by Power’ (25). This and all subsequent translations are mine.
