| Sumario: | This article examines the dialogue between metaliterary reflections on writing, production, and editing in the works of César Aira and Fernanda Laguna. It supports the hypothesis that Aira and Laguna share not only similar creative procedures, specifically, the use of rapid narrative rhythm and a naïve or childlike perspective of the world, but also a common reflexive stance toward these procedures. Both authors converge at the point where they theorize and program their own literary practices, revealing metaliterature as a generative force that legitimizes and sustains literature itself. |
