description This article offers an interpretation of the novel Buddha y los chocolates envenenados (1997) by the Chilean writer Enrique Lafourcade, in relation with the music album Buddha and the Chocolate Box (1974) by the singer-songwriter Cat Stevens. The methodology, firstly, identifies the literary devices chosen by the storyteller to stablish discursive bonds with Stevens’s work, then, explains how these stylistic procedures take place in the plot. This plan of action lets prove how, and, to what extent, Steven’s production influenced the writer’s novel. The contribution of this case study aims to start a line of research which, until now, had not been explored by the literary critics. Finally, some projections are proposed whose execution will let determine the importance of Lafourcade’s musical imaginary in his own narrative work.

Este artículo estudia la novela Buddha y los chocolates envenenados (1977) del escritor chileno Enrique Lafourcade, a partir de las referencias discursivas que dispuso el narrador respecto del álbum musical Buddha and the Chocolate Box (1974) del cantautor británico Cat Stevens. La metodología de trabajo identifica, en primer lugar, los recursos literarios que escogió el narrador para establecer vínculos discursivos con el trabajo artístico de Stevens, luego, explica cómo operan estos procedimientos estilísticos en la diégesis. Este plan de trabajo permite evidenciar cómo, y, en qué medida, influyó la producción artística de Stevens en la escritura de la novela chilena. El aporte de este estudio de caso es abrir una línea de investigación que, hasta ahora, la crítica literaria no había advertido. Finalmente, se sugieren algunas proyecciones investigativas cuya ejecución permitiría determinar la relevancia del imaginario musical de Enrique Lafourcade en su obra narrativa. Este artigo oferece uma leitura de Buddha y los chocolates envenenados (1977) do escritor chileno Enrique Lafourcade, a partir das referências discursivas que o narrador fez ao respeito do álbum musical Buddha and the Chocolate Box (1974) do cantor e compositor britânico Cat Stevens. A metodologia do trabalho identifica, em primeiro lugar, os recursos literários que o narrador escolheu para estabelecer vínculos discursivos com a obra artística de Stevens, em seguida, explica como esses procedimentos estilísticos operam na diegese. Este plano de trabalho permite mostrar como e em que medida a produção artística de Stevens influenciou a escrita do romance chileno. A contribuição deste estudo de caso é abrir uma linha de investigação que, até agora, a crítica literária não havia percebido. Por fim, são sugeridas algumas projeções investigativas cuja execução permitiria determinar a relevância do imaginário musical de Enrique Lafourcade na sua obra narrativa.
