In this article, we propose to identify some theoretical issues on the reading act, as they are constantly formulated by the Romanian-born French writer Cioran (1911-1995) in his works and notebooks, constituting by their unsystematic characteristics an authentic readers’ (fragmented) handbook. After the identification of several types of reading that Cioran mentions in his writings, we will mainly focus our observations on comparing and associating them to the theories of reading of his time (considering some concepts and aesthetic practices as defined by Hans Robert Jauss, Roland Barthes or Antoine Compagnon).
