The novel El hombre que amaba a los perros does not just present one, but two men who love dogs, León Trotski and his murderer Ramón Mercader, and the plot’s point of view alternates between both of them. This paper discusses what does the perpetrator’s perspective bring to the story and proposes to focus on radical multiperspectivism, that lets the reader to understand perpetrator’s point of view without legitimising his acts, as a different ethico-political mode: agonistic mode of remembering.
