Silvio MERLINO ( 1995 ) "TZINACÀN" 1987 Tzinacàn - in Borges’ novel "The writing of the god" - is the magus of the pyramid of Raholon, locked up in a deep cricular prison divides by a wall. Beyond thar wall, his fellow in cell is a jaguar. Like in several writings of Borges, "the writing of the god" has the development of the stone when thrown in a pond : every circle has its own sense ( consequently subject to a singular interpretation ) but entrusts the following one with its possibilities of expansion. "Tzinacàn" is the title of Silvio Merlino’s work, extracted from Borges novel. However the numerous references to the text do not express themselves in a cotation tout-court but appear through a compact network of ineluctable intertextual relations which concur to the foundation of a unique sens that qualifies the work in its accomplished representation.
