Abstract
This article aims to analyze Diario de Manhattan, by the Argentinian writer Néstor Sánchez, as a voluntary exercise to destroy the experience in two different axes: the language, which materializes in the physical rule of writing with the left hand; and the city, through the act of walking and discover New York as a vagabond. On the one side, the objective is to investigate the relation between the destruction of language and the returning to a childhood that takes shape in the act of writing with the left hand. On the other, the aim is to investigate the ways that wandering operates as a critique of the consumer society.
