| Summary: | <p>The fantastic narrative of Adolfo Bioy Casares incorporates, beginning with the <em>Invention of Morel </em>(1940), some ironic features that add a humorous tone to it but where the fantastic is fundamental since it produces a renewal of the genre towards 1940. In this article we will consider a second stage of his narrative, from <em>Garland with loves</em>(1959) in which Bioy ventures with more intensity into humor in the later books. For this analysis we selected some novels and stories from the years 1960 to 1980, where the fantastic is attenuated and humor is intensified through irony, satire and parody. We will see what function humor plays, how parody is exercised on his own previous work, how it articulates with the fantastic, and how distancing and the critical view of both aspects form in his work a transgressive and disturbing vision of the world.</p>
