Abstract

The aim of this paper is to explore and to analyze the set of formal, theoretical, and self-figurative elements which Alan Pauls appeals to build, in the final scene of La vida descalzo, his fiction of origin as a reader. Following the teachings of his literary masters (Borges, Puig, Cortázar and Piglia), Pauls creates his story of initiation to reading with the purpose that the meaning wich legitimize both his literary work and his authorial image is affirmed to a
specific foundational myth: A happy childhood thanks to fiction. My hypothesis is that this inaugural story reflect to disciplic place wich Pauls wishes for himself in Argentine literature.
