Abstract

This article analyses Paul Auster’s novel Oracle Night as the fictionalization of the creation of a literary space. Focusing on the figure of the writer and the creative act, the novel structures in a succession of different fictional layers that overlap and reflect on each other. In this sense, the novel becomes a novel within different short fictions that illustrate the process of writing. The construction of a literary space is compared to Maurice Blanchot’s theory of literature in the context of an intertextual influence between Paul Auster and Maurice Blanchot.
