Mario Levrero in his Diaries: from the Fiction to the Biography

Abstract

The Uruguayan writer Mario Levrero constructed his involuntary trilogy from postulates ficcionales to give life to an imaginative, rich and dense world that derived then to literary forms as the diary. The split between writing and reality, present like problem in the first epoch of his narrative and canalized across the fantastic thing, disappears and author transforms in the assimilation of me ficcional with me. This procedure demonstrates in "Diario de un canalla" (1992), El discurso vacío (1996) and "El diario de la beca" (2005). In them the writing of a diary, with his iterations and meticulous descriptions, is transmuted into a way of observing the reality to be constructed as I hold forthwith of writing.
