Abstract
"This essay starts with the study of previous criticisms to make a new proposal for reading the novel Lo demás es silencio by Augusto Monterroso and this search is oriented towards the reestablishment of its links with the ancient tradition of comic-serious or humorous literature, in particular with Menippean satire. Laughter is the axis around which the poetics of the text is built, but I try to see its main features, parodies, ironies, games, satires in the novelistic whole and always in relation to the problem of the literary genre (the composition of a novel based on multiple genres that it incorporates), the struggle between orality-writing, high culture-popular culture, the deep critical sense that beats and the significance of the reflection on the intellectual and academic exercise that the work elaborates.Keywords: Poetics; laughter; menippea; parodies; genre"
