Details	Starting from Cognitive Schema Theory and its connection with literary genres, we analyze Vladimir Nabokov's Pale Fire's reading process as the activation and dissolution of cognitive schemas in relation with the genres of academic criticism, the gothic and romance novel, the drama-in-novel, finally prevailing the detective-stories genre. In a symmetrical fashion, but in the opposite direction, we present Eduardo Lago's Siempre supe que volvería a verte, Aurora Lee, a hybrid novel composed by many different discursive styles and materials. In Lago's novel, the initial cognitive schema to be activated is the hard-boiled American novels. This genre is interrupted by the biography, the cultural journalism, the drama-in-novel, predominating in the end the genre of literary criticism, always in connection with the intertextual work that Lago does with Nabokov's novels
