* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: literary built on it. We never get a truly trustworthy description on the motives, personality and backstory of Ulises, Arturo or Cesarea, and everything that is said about them is arbitrary and contradictory.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: About 70% of the novel has nothing to do with the actual "plot" and is just whatever the narrator in turn wants to talk about. It does have to do with the main ''idea'' though. Sometimes. A straighter version would be the chapters on the Book Fair at the end or the one about the 1968 Shooting in Mexico, they have nothing to do with any main character and are never referred to again. They are still some of the best loved parts of the book, though.

* CrazyAwesome: How does Arturo react to an annoying literary critic? He challenges him to a duel in the beach. An actual duel with swords on the beach. [[SeriousBusiness Over books]].
* TrueArtIsAngsty: referenced, parodied and ultimately played straight
* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: also referenced, parodied and ultimately played straight
