Abstract The award-winning collection of stories by Cristina Fernández Cubas, La habitación de Nona (2015), focuses on the fear of difference that lurks within apparent normality. The title story features the classic Fernández Cubas strategy of a first-person narrator who imposes narrative authority and the view of normality, in tension with other characters’ perspectives that subvert the center of power. Drawing on the theoretical framework of Disability Studies, this essay analyzes how Fernández Cubas wields doubling, difference, and voices in “La habitación de Nona” to set up and subvert the able body as an unstable and mutable identity position. This approach departs from her treatment of disability in her inaugural story, “Mi hermana Elba.” In examining how society views and voices difference and disability as a social construct, Fernández Cubas critiques notions of normality and unveils the abject as the double that dwells within the self as well as the other.
