Approaches to the apocryphe around Max Aub: from the french model to the last peninsular manifestations

Abstract

The aim of this work is to design a map of apocryphal manifestations about Max Aub’s figure, writer who has constructed a universe of fake from his first works, including different genres. From the contrast with some of French texts that Aub read, and that supposed his particular cultural inheritance, it will be found a panorama that it includes so much the teachers and predecessors in the apocryphal practice maxaubiana, André Gide y Valéry Larbaud, as his more representative successors: the creative novelists of the fictitious one Sabino Ordás. On the one hand, between some and others, there will be traced the peninsular cases of major transcendency, in order to analyze the relevancy of this corpus and its function with regard to the canon. On the other hand, we are interested in valuing the will of subversion of the conventional mechanisms of the art and of the autobiography.
