Giorgio Manganelli's Anti-Aristotelian Literature
Giorgio Manganelli, theorist of literature as lie, argues that literature is novelistic fabulation and committed writers are shameful writers; his work is a space where simulation reigns. 'Centurie' presents one hundred 'little river novels' reduced to their essence, while 'Bruits ou voix', born from reading Pontormo's diary edited by philologist Salvatore Nigro, realizes Manganelli's most resolutely anti-Aristotelian work.
