Abstract
This essay proposes that Alberto Fuguet's narrative may be read as a writing project with a(new) rhetorical strategy by which various sexual deviances may be represented. By this modus operandi, in Fuguet's stories, both manifestation and repression of male deviance are made explicit by way of a ‘quotation game' in the fi eld of chilean literary tradition. The narrators in his texts fi nd in the narrative of Jose Donoso, Jorge Edwards and Alfredo Gomez Morel, among others, a corpus of rhetorical fi gures which allow them to make their deviance explicit in an oblique way; that is, to condense their voluptous desire in the prestigious language of the Chilean Literary Canon. Within this context, this essay explores the quotations of Donoso's Casa de Campo and El Jardin de al lado, and those quotations of Alfredo Garcia Morel's El rio present in Alberto Fuguet's fi rst works (Sobredosis y Mala Onda).
