Abstract

Visiting founding texts is a constant characteristic of Juan Villoro's (Ciudad de México, 1956) essay writing. In El rey duerme, crónica hacia Hamlet (2008), the writer brings a singular approximation to Shakespeare's homonymous play. The article proposes a reading of this text around the following set of issues: a) the existing interferences and tensions between chronicle and essay; b) the various configurations of the relation master/disciple; c) the polemic dialogue instituted with Harold Bloom's (Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human, 1998) interpretation and the textual strategies implemented for this end; d) the interpretative displacement proposed starting with Tomás Segovia's (2002) Spanish translation of Hamlet and Jorge Luis Borges's (1985) last short story.
