Las perplejidades de un lector modelo: Ensayo y ficción en Ricardo Piglia

Abstract

From de reading of erroneous attributions in three essays on Macedonio Fernandez by Ricardo Piglia, this article puts forward a hypothesis concerning the implications of the strategy "fictionalization of criticism" which characterises Piglia's essays. It also attempts an evaluation of the reduction of fiction to a falsification effect planned by an authorial figure. Some differences between Piglia's essays and Borges' are suggested as well.
