ROBERTO BOLAÑO Y LA AUTORÍA DE CULTO COMO ‘PERFORMANCE’

Abstract

The article explores the concept of literary authorship as a form of cultural performance, using Roberto Bolaño’s work as a case study. By situating both his fictional and non-fictional works within broader debates about authorship, literary identity, and the dynamic interplay between author, text, and audience, the article highlights how Roberto Bolaño engaged in a deliberate act of authorial self-fashioning, with the goal (and ultimately, result) of achieving his own literary canonization.
