Everything has been written, everything has been s · Macedonio Fernández

Everything has been written, everything has been said, everything has been made: that’s what God heard before creating the world, when there was nothing yet. I have also heard that one, he may have answered from the old, split Nothingness. And then he began.

Macedonio Fernández

1874-06-01 — 1952-02-10 · Buenos Aires

Macedonio Fernández was an Argentine writer, thinker, and poet, a central figure of the literary avant-garde of the early 20th century in Latin America. Known for his philosophical thought and literary experimentation, Fernández was a proponent of aesthetic and conceptual ruptures, significantly influencing authors like Jorge Luis Borges and other members of the "Martín Fierro" group. His work, often fragmented, playful, and marked by irony, challenges traditional narrative and poetic conventions. Despite his limited output published during his lifetime, his intellectual legacy and influence on the development of modern literature are invaluable. Fernández is remembered as a creator of literary "wit games" and a precursor to metafiction and textual deconstruction.
