Abstract

The novel Wild Palms, written by William Faulkner, triggers, on this article, an anachronic and archiphilological gesture, which appears in Raúl Antelo’s essays: the gesture of reading a text on its reader, instead of reading it on itself, or on its author. I pursue, through trace elements left on letters, interviews and dialogues, in order to settle a scene in which the filmmakers Glauber Rocha and Jean-Luc Godard and the writer Jorge Luis Borges talk silently about this book. Those readings and translations frustrate any kind of formalization and do not obey canons. They make themselves by jumping, as projected by Macedonio Fernández on his Museo de la novela de la eterna.
