Abstract
This article deals with the fruitful friendship between the writers Sergio Pitol (1933-2018) and Juan Manuel Torres (1938-1980). First, it focuses on the way in which this friendship is related to their Polish translations, and it documents that they both worked together on some of them. Afterwards, we analyze the different ways in which this friendship is present in their writings. The paper argues that some of their fiction operates as an archive where their mutual experiences have been recorded, a sort of series of reciprocal homages that motivate innovative literary strategies, which ultimately call into question the idea of individual authorship.
