Acumulação e desestabilização da forma na narrativa brasileira atual

Abstract

In the literature of the end of the XX century and beginning of the XXI, a production of texts averse to classification and little adequate to formal categories belonging to tradition is generally observed. Before O Fluxo Silencioso das Maquinas, by Bruno Zeni, Curva de Rio Sujo, by Joca Reiners Terron, and Eles eram muitos cavalos, by Luiz Ru ffato, the critics fin d themselves with the genre definition problem to which they belong. Classifying these novels or not is a much less important difficulty than the dilemma which they formalize or enact: the one of establishifig relations, giving meaning, and having, if not totality, at least the impulse to search for it
