This paper aims to establish a link between genre and gender through the study of the cronotope in two narrative pieces by Copi (1939-1987). Following a comparative methodology and supported by concepts from literary theory, queer theory and poststructuralist thought, this article will analyze, first, the means by which Copi wishes to go beyond the rules of literary genre and gender; second, the objects which are reappropriated according to nonheteronormative codes; and, finally, the way in which the enlargement of time in the fiction of the Argentinean writer benefits a conception of gender that is primarily prosthetic.
