Summary/Abstract: The work seeks to analyze the novel entitled I am leaving, whose hero Félix Ferrer, owner of an art gallery, travels to the North Pole and returns to Paris with objects of art that disappeared in the sinking of a boat, but these precious items are mysteriously stolen. The narrator narrates the journey to find these objects, the processes until they are stolen and found with a focus on the events around the hero. The protagonist, lacking the skills to conduct an investigation, imagines himself as an anti-detective who ironically obtains the result in a haphazard and haphazard manner. Focusing on the alternating structure and reworking of the novelistic conventions of detective genres, the article sets out to study the divergent composition of the narrative, the infidelity of the narrator, the investigation and investigator of the point of view of theories of possible worlds, narratology and fiction.
