Gombrowicz według Piglii, czyli o rewizji argentyńskiego kanonu

Abstract

The aim of the article is to focus on the interpretation that Ricardo Piglia gives to Witold Gombrowicz’s writings and to fix the position attributed to the Polish writer inside the Argentinian literary canon. Having examined Piglia’s texts related to the author of Ferdydurke (The Polish novel, The language of the Dispossessed and Artificial Respiration), we claim that Gombrowicz occupies a border position between Jorge Luis Borges’ and Roberto Arlt’s poetics.
