This paper approaches William Henry Hudson’s autobiographical work, Far Away and Long Ago - A History of My Early Life (1918), from the point of view of the authorial construction –carried out through memory and the autobiographical discourse– of childhood as the space of what we shall call a retrospective utopia, which is deeply intertwined with the leitmotif of the lost paradise. Our interest in Hudson’s text and its use of the utopian genre comes from the construction of a territory defined by an authorial crossing of self and hetero-images where we intend to track the marks of a representation of the Argentine, whether present or absent.

As meaningful as "the reading scene" proposed by Silvia Molloy in her well-known paper about Hispanic-American autobiography, is the time when the writer establishes a genealogic narrative, a parental relationship, a proper name and a heritage within the text. From the perspective of psychoanalysis, this issue is referred to as "family novel". In this paper, this problem will be dealt with in order to show the way in which the texts of Jorge Luis Borges, and particularly his autobiography -written as an essay- are established.
