Abstract

The Morphology of the Reading Writer: An Application

The paper discusses the creative profile of Alberto Manguel, the author of A History of Reading, from the point of view of a particular creative family: that of writers who define themselves as primarily readers, a family that Argentine
seems to favour in its modern culture. The analysis follows both significant details of Manguel’s autobiography and the main lines of his History…in order to point the convergence of life and literature, of reading and living, as far as Manguel’s creative perspective is concerned.
Keywords: writers of Argentine, Jorge Luis Borges, Alberto Manguel, history of reading, fiction and non-fiction

Note bibliografice

1. În acest fel înţeleg opţiunea lui Manguel din studiile sale cele mai recente pentru revizitarea literaturii din perspectiva lecturii (a se vedea The Library at Night, Toronto: Knopf Canada, 2006, şi Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey: A Biography, New York: Grove Monthly Press ; [Berkeley, Calif.]: Distributed by Publishers Group West, [2009], 2007). Strict tehnic, prin această opţiune, autorul
se încadrează în curentul comparatist al redefinirii
literaturii comparate ca „world literature”, respectiv ca biografie a impactului local al unei cărţi dintr-o altă cultură, dar dincolo de acest detaliu se află o mult mai personală înţelegere a literaturii ca lectură continuă.
