Details	Based on the Cognitive Theory of the Scheme and its relationship with the literary genres, we analyze the process of reading Pale Fire, by Vladimir Nabokov, as the activation and subsequent dissolution of cognitive schemes related to the following genres: academic criticism, Gothic novel and adventure novel, the genre of drama-in-novel, to end up establishing in the detective genre. In a similar fashion, but in the opposite direction, the different discursive and material styles that make Siempre supe que volvería a verte, Aurora Lee, by Eduardo Lago, a hybrid novel, initially activate cognitive reading schemes related to the genre of the noir novel, this genre is interrupted by biography, cultural journalism, drama-in-novel, to finish in the genre of literary criticism because of Lago's intertextual games with Nabokov's novels.
