A work by Pablo Katchadjian, El Aleph engordado, has given rise to a lawsuit and a debate about the nature of authorship, plagiarism, literary creation and the representations of conceptual art in the domain of literature. Unfortunately, the controversy over alleged plagiarism has obscured the debate that should have fueled Pablo Katchadjian’s experiment. The work of the Argentine writer raises problems of great interest in two contiguous areas: (1) the way in which literary inspiration uses the literary tradition; (2) the way in which authors relate to their precursors. In both cases, Pablo Katchadjian offers interesting perspectives to analyze his contribution as a critical reading of the recent past and as a way of thinking again the creation of the work of literary conceptual art.
