This paper is immersed in the study of community figurations in Colombian literature during last decades of twentieth century. It focuses on the novel Falleba (1979) by Fernando Cruz Kronfly to look —with the help of philosophical theorists such as Jean-Luc Nancy— into the mechanisms and strategies by which the writing creates a fragile form of images that projects a permanent confluence between the inside and the outside that makes posible the narrative configuration of a community of intimacy.
