Returning to Moreira, writing the reading: experience and risk in César Aira

Abstract

This paper approaches the narrative in César Aira’s Moreira from its discursive network and the interpretative disputes in which it takes place in order to discuss how reading constitutes a central element in Aira’s poetics. By inscribing itself into the interstice in which writing and experience are connected, and by questioning the opposition between narrative and its interpretation, between synchrony and diachrony, reading becomes a power that articulates and originates the author, his work and reader in Moreira, and thus reading becomes one of the elements of the game that configures the “Aira effect”.

Keywords:
