Saer, note and symphony

Abstract

This article examines the writing process of the stories of Juan Jose Saer, from the relationship between the fragment and the whole. We will specifically study his last novel, La grande, published posthumously in 2005. The relationship between draft notes and the discursive flow of final versions, the relationship that La grande creates with previous works of Saer and lastly, the manner in which this final book “closes” the author’s work will all be analyzed successively.
