In this essay we propose to investigate the figure of the interruption of reading in order to offer a definition of reading as interruption. Evocated on several occasions by different critics, represented numerous times in the history of painting, the figure of the interruption of reading is also portrayed in literature where we believe it is possible to find elements that examine reading as interruption. For this, we will focus on what we will call three reading scenes (Proust, Saer, Cortázar) that aims to explore what we define as the interruption and to investigate the borders between life and literature, between text and reader, between reality and fiction, seeking to offer a possible definition of reading.

Keywords : Reading; interruption; reading scenes; life; literature.
