Disparaître dans la fiction.

- Abstract
This article endeavours to explore the stakes and modalities of the fictional re-invention of the self that takes place in Docteur Pasavento.In the novel, this reinvention arranges itself in accordance to a complex scheme : by orchestrating his own disappearance in order to confer upon himself new fictitious identities, the eponymous character of the novel becomes a projection of the author himself. In the novel, the aspiration to disappear is thus unified with a desire to blur the boundaries between fiction and reality. I intend to shed light on this union by invoking the Carrollian metaphor of passing "through the looking-glass". The intention of this article is to render evident the fictional dynamism that underpins the novelistic writings of Enrique Vila-Matas.
