Abstract

Juan Carlos Onetti’s Los adioses develops a fictional network that puts in game two strategic movements simultaneously. The first is retrospective and relates to writing: one is the narrator, who wants to discover the story of the basketball player, and the other it’s the meaning -the sense- that the narrator gives this story: why he appropriates the narrative material? and why the player is an interesting subject? The second strategic movement refers to reading and the empty of meaning that makes the text, which was crystallized in a particular use of language and in a singular form of access to knowledge: the impossibility of reading the truth.
