From the reading of The Book of Emma Reyes: A Memoir, by the Colombian artist Emma Reyes, it is possible to know the author's life story. She stands out in this article as a relevant figure in the context of literature written by women in Latin America. Thus, this paper aims to discuss the possible reading keys presented in Emma's set of letters, based on the theoretical background of authors such as Aleida Assmann (2011) and Paul Ricoeur (2007). Before starting the analysis and considering its aspects, some information about the emergence of this work will be presented, as well as the biographical data of the author, according to Diego Garzón's (2016) journalistic work, in order to establish more reflections from this study proposal. Finally, the reading keys presented are cultural memory and identity, spaces and voices that appear in the narrative through memoirs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
