Al marge de l'escriptura: lectura de Cap a Tirèsies de Víctor Sunyol

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to offer an interpretation of Cap a Tirèsies by the poet Víctor Sunyol (Vic, 1955). As this is a fictional essay with the body of the text completely empty, and there only remain the paratexts in the margin of the script, one wonders what the meaning of this empty space might be and, if there is indeed any meaning, how it is to be understood. As we shall see, on the basis of Sunyol's own reflexions, and with help from other critics, what the publisher of this book -not the author- does is offer not a work but the absence of one, that is to say, space filled with silence in a script which, instead of providing a sense, appeals to the reader to create one, and thus enjoy reading a recreated text instead of simply acting as a consumer.
