Abstract
The essay intends to discuss the relationship between the constitution of a work and the development of an authoral figure, discussing the relationship between the process of elaboration of the literary workings, available to be read by inspecting the work, and the outline of a trajectory of formation of an author’s name, what is done in order to relativize the simplicity of a direct association between work and life. Through the commentary of some procedures found in the narratives of Aira, we intend to think about how a writer inscribes him/himself as author in the literary field.
Key words:
authorship; signature; César Aira
