The intention of this article is to analyse the intertextual influence between the American writer Lydia Davis and the French philosopher and critic Maurice Blanchot. This literary dialogue occurs as a result of Davis’ experience translating Blanchot’s most relevant critical and fictional texts. Davis’ role as a translator influenced her short fiction in which she discusses the limits of the literary space and therefore constantly challenges the genre as a way of fictionalizing Blanchot’s literary theory
