Abstract In 1983, during his exile in Madrid, the Argentine author Antonio Di Benedetto published Cuentos del exilio, a volume of short stories. This article pretends to analyze these fictions, barely approached by critics, from certain recurrences - the unwanted, the disintegrated person, censoring regard, disagreement with others, the outsider, freedom and confinement, stalking evil - that appear as variants or versions of a "bigger story" unspeakable to him. Allegories, symbols, brevity, differences in styles between tales, configure alternative ways to approximate the nucleus elided and, nevertheless, present: the experience of prison and exile. The trauma that this event supposes in Di Benedetto's life causes a break in his writing, which then adopts, more than ever, the strategy of ellipsis.
