The ghost's architecture. An autobiography (2006) by the argentine writer Héctor Libertella is published weeks after his death. It is in this work that Libertella focus on the concept of authorship. For him, every subject is a splintered ego; precisely, if there is something to which his writing is not restricted it is to the generic, discursive, linguistic and mercantile conventions. That is why the subject finds its center in more than one and fluctuates between an ego and another. The autobiography is a genre little traveled and unexplored by Libertella since, for him, it means the closing of a life, when all his (re)writing implied a life impulse, a devotion for and in the letter, a compulsion that postponed a little more the death. The materiality and corporeality of the work became, from an early age, an obsession, and made the care of his work a policy on one's own body: the pathography. In the following work we will analyze this coming and going of his relationship with his books and his life through writing.

Keywords : Héctor Libertella; autobiography; author; ego; empty.
