This article highlights, in Nocturno en Chile, by Roberto Bolaño, the concept of astonishing ridiculousness and how it undermines the memory and the testimony when they are fundamental in a dictatorial scenario. The novel is a manner to review the past, new possibilities of interpretation of history as well as a provocation to the present time, reminding the permanence of daily omissions. While the ridiculousness refers to the duplicity (an omissive man of letters besides violences of State), the astonishing refers to a background of horror, marked by deaths, tortures and disappearing of people. For this analysis, we employ, as theoretical base, Grínor Rojo (2016). His ideas explain the concept of "astonishing ridiculousness". Considering the idea of objectivity in history, we observe Nietzsche (1983) and Jacques Le Goff (2003). Lastly, refiring to the memory and testimony, we use Seligmann-Silva (2003), Jeanne Marie Gagnebin (2006), Beatriz Sarlo (2007) and Todorov (2008
