Abstract

The author relates crime and literature, taking into consideration the impact, as experience, that literature may have upon the reader. Using the book Don Quijote de la Mancha, he argues about the importance, for the reader, to question his/her readings. Two texts by Kafka, “Give up” and “The helmsman”, are read in a critical mode in order to let emerge a poetics of questioning readings and books.
