César Aira and Osvaldo Lamborghini: «First publish».

The posterity of inconvenient writings

Abstract

The present work sets out to establish a correlation between the figure of the editors of the Panamanian trilogy of César Aira, El Mago (2002), Varamo (2002) and La princesa primavera (2003), and the figure of César Aira as executor and editor of Osvaldo Lamborghini taking into account the editorial impulse that, in his care, he reissued the stories and poems published during Lamborghini's life as well as his unpublished papers. This first operation also allows us to reflect on the Arian practice of scriptural overproduction such as the staging of his master's boutade («first publish, then write») themed in the trilogy to literality. Likewise, the revival of the master would not only favor the mutual readability of those who, early on, intuited his literatures made system, but would also provide a critical diagnosis about the current state of the Argentine novel in which the boutade would have lost all corrosive power.
