This article seeks a path of interpretation of some of the mechanisms of the literary device that the formalists called “skaz.” It examines it in very different works, including Tat’jana Tolstaja’s Kys’, Isaak Babel’s Tales, Jorge Amado’s Captains of the Sand and João Guimarães Rosa’s Grande Sertão: Veredas. The element that unites these works is to be sought in the authors’ common attitude: they let some of the characters and the main narrator directly convey their own point of view, while the authors’ indirect point of view tends to disappear in a completely hidden position.
