Abstract

This article proposes a reading of the work by the chilean novelist Juan Agustín Palazuelos (1936-1969) considering, first, the different impressions of its critical reception. Therefore we intend to identified the strategies of Palazuelos’s poetics that had defied, exceded and frustrated the expectations of a meager group of critics. The multiplicity of his scriptural resources will be approached from the concept of disjecta membra, trough wich it is posible to establish links with the notions of monstrosity, excess, melancholy, spectacle, anamorphosis and simulation, among others.
