This article offers a rereading of a segment of the literary universe of Álvaro Mutis to study the various discursive metamorphoses experienced by Maqroll el Gaviero (the Lookout), his most representative poetic and narrative voice. The main reading filters that will be used in the proposed itinerary will be Fernando Pessoa's poetic heteronomy model, Antonio Machado's complementary discursive alternative, and the so-called "oblique writing" proposed by Eugenio Montejo. This new approach to the Mutisian work is also presented as an invitation to revisit it on the forthcoming centenary of the author’s birth.
