This article begins with the assertion that the imbalance in Latin American bibliodiversity is not a problem of literature availability but one of visibility. The argument centers on the Mexican author Dahlia de la Cerda who, despite having gained prominence through her publisher Sexto Piso, has achieved visibility through the strategic use of Twitter (X). In response to the performances demanded by literary culture, De la Cerda has crafted a persona on X that has drawn attention through online controversies. Drawing on concepts from the sociology of culture (Gallego, Thompson) and publishing theory (Bhaskar), I propose that her performance on X de/remediates the relationship with the public and redefines notions of reader, author, and reading communities. By exercising her own agency, De la Cerda creates tangents to traditional literary fields and, in doing so, restructures the pathways of bibliodiversity.
