"When we think we write our readings, we are actually writing our lives," we read in Camera obscura cannon (Seix Barral), the new novel byEnrique Vila-Matas (Barcelona, ​​​​1948). The book, explained by someone who could be an android – the first to be incorporated into Vilamatian literature –, takes us into 48 hours of obsessive writing, motivated by the memory of a dead writer and the creation of a literary canon made from randomly chosen fragments of authors such as Robert Walser. Franz Kafka, Joseph Roth and Carlo Emilio Gadda.
