The article offers a reading of the work of the Chilean writer Juan-Agustín Palazuelos (1936-1969) taking into account the contradictory criticism of his work. The goal is to highlight a poetic that challenged, exceeded and frustrated the expectations of some critics among the most important Chilean literary journalists of the time. The multiplicity of scriptural processes of the Palazuelian work is analyzed from the concept of disjecta membra, which makes it possible to establish links with the notions of monstrosity, excess, melancholy, spectacle, anamorphosis and simulation, among others. The original text of Disjecta Membra was published in the Revista Chilena de Literatura No. 89 in April 2015. The French version is a translation provided by Chantal Waszilewska and R. Gac.
