In this article, I show how in Gesualdo Bufalino's only autofiction titled Calende greche the thematization of truth and falsehood is part of a seductive strategy that aims at controlling the readers' hermeneutical agency. I identify a corporeal dimension of the text and a link between the diegetic thematization of libidinal pleasure and the author's literary creation of his subjectivity. On this basis, I argue that the text performatively establishes both a sadist and a masochist dynamic with its readers. Calende greche thus allows us to explore one of the most distinctive textual strategies that allowed the author to "return" after his "death" (Barthes) as a libidinal body seeking to gather pleasure from both the act of writing and the one of being (mis)read.
