Abstract

Where to find Fernando Pessoa in the contemporary literature? Is there a place for him? This essay tracks answers on Spanish writer Enrique Vila-Matas’ fiction, specifically in the rescue that he does of a semi-heteronym of Pessoa: Baron of Teive. Bartleby & companhia, novel made of fragmentary commentaries about writers that abandoned literature (the “artists of No”), incorporates the heteronimic game of Pessoa and updates issues such as the emptiness of I in the speech and the struggle between silence and language that takes place in the heart of literature. The hypothesis is that Pessoa, represented by his semi-heteronym, survives on anachronical key on Vila-Matas’ reading, giving retrospective meaning to gaps of the literary history, especially on early twentieth century vanguards.
