Details	In this communication I intend to analyze the intertextual uses in Eduardo Lago's novel Call me Brooklyn, which serves as a cohesive nexus of a history that runs between the Spanish Civil War and the city of New York today, including many characters of Spanish origin in the United States. The multiple voices of the different narrators, which complete the informational voids of the argument and sometimes confuse or contradict each other, resemble the different layers of literary references - in the form of allusions, citations, paratexts, metatexts, hypertexts and architextos- that make up the novel. The motif of the double also arises from the compiling task of one of its narrators, who finds it difficult to distinguish his own voice from that of his narrative sources.
