Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present Witold Gombrowicz as an Argentinian writer. His inclusion in the Argentinian literary canon is analysed by applying the methodological tools provided by the theory of “world literature”. Different interpretation of his literary output, proposed by the Argentinian criticism, are also investigated. Finally, the study centres on the possible links between Gombrowicz’s aesthetics and Cesar Aira’s literary and critical works.
