Abstract: Time has always been a field full of experimental innovations during the 20th century, and Deseos, by Marina Mayoral, is not alien to that. This novel contains a double analysis of time: On one hand from a philosophical point of view, fiction gets divided on many occasions in two dierent parts: the chronological time of the clock and the psychological or lived time, which ts with the personal experience of time. On the other hand, from a technical perspective, the way time builds the structure of the text will be studied, and also the different kinds of flashbacks that allow characters' soliloquies. Finally, implicit and explicit time indicators that guide time's becoming will also be object of study.
