Abstract

This article offers a reading of El libro de Tamar, by Tamara Kamenszain, based on the idea that reencountering an intimate document gives rise to a form of reading that, at once, unveils the history of a love relationship and revisits a literary generation, reflecting upon it. The partners in this relationship are Tamara and her ex-husband, the writer Héctor Libertella, who, alongside her, took part in the Argentine neobarroco generation between approximately the 1960s and the 1990s. Drawing on a reading of Tamara Kamenszain’s unclassifiable text – which may, in turn, be considered a record of her reading of Libertella’s poem – I reflect on this intimate document as the initial spark of the Tamara’s writing.
