Para contribuir a la comprensión del pensamiento literario del poeta, novelista, crítico y traductor Carlos Pujol (1936-2012) se examinan tres fuentes primarias de su poética, donde de forma explícita —aunque dispersa y fragmentada— aborda cuestiones de fundamento: ¿qué es la literatura? ¿Cuál es su función? El análisis de sus aforismos, entrevistas y correspondencia permite reconstruir un sistema orgánico de pensamiento en el cual proponemos distinguir dos funciones complementarias de la literatura, que concibe como arte y como diversión inteligente que permite ver más allá de la apariencia. Aunque su obra es coetánea a la generación del 70 defiende, como otros autores, planteamientos alternativos al de los llamados novísimos.In order to contribute to the understanding of the literary thought of the poet, novelist, critic and translator Carlos Pujol (1936-2012), we analise three primary sources of his poetics where he explicitly formulates his literary ideas —though scattered and fragmented— responding to fundamental questions such as, What is literature? What is its function? The analysis of his aphorisms, of interviews and correspondence allows us to reconstruct an organic system of thought where there are two complementary functions of literature, viewed both as art and as intelligent fun, allowing us to see beyond appearances. Even if his work is coetaneous with the generation of the 70’s he adopts, like other authors, an approach different from that of the so-called novísimos.
