RODRIGUEZ MONTIEL, Emiliano. Simulate what you already are. Dandyism and bibliophilia in Trance by Alan Pauls. Cuad. CILHA [online]. 2023, vol.24, n.2, e009. Epub 05-Dez-2023. ISSN 1852-9615. http://dx.doi.org/10.48162/rev.34.069.
This work is derived from a recently completed doctoral thesis. It studies the constitution of anachronism as a form of contemporary dandyism in Alan Pauls's narrative. In this article, I focus primarily on general critical-theoretical questions regarding the way in which Pauls, by intervening in his autobiographical material, constructs the difference that makes him stand out as a dandy. And, detached from it, I analyze the author characters that populate Trance (Pauls, 2018), his last long-term essay. My hypothesis is that Pauls, by transferring the anachronism of his fiction to the characters responsible for self-figuration by him, not only seeks that they complete and encompass his figure of author, but also that they consolidate the anachronism that founds his literature.
