Manuel Puig. De amicitia

Abstract

In this work Jorge Panesi, motivated by the memory embodied in a dedication preserved in the personal library of Manuel Puig, evokes the memory of a writing that connects literature with the task of critic through the debts and dialogues that are woven around affection, intellectual practice and friendship. In his reflection, Panesi returns to his own text to reflect there on languages, the traditions and traumas of the Argentine history that coexisted and marked the writing of his work and that remain silently in the argumentative scaffolding of that pioneer and careful reading of the narrative of Puig.
