Framing an object by lifting it out of its context displaces it into another semiotic order. A narrative framework also displaces its material, and the order it imposes on the chance events of life creates aesthetic meaning. Cortzar's Manuscript tells the story of the obsession to structure the anarchy of existence, thus showing how fiction is made out of life, while the title signals the element of chance involved in readership itself.
