Imagem e memória na auto- ficção de Caio Fernando Abreu

Abstract

The article presents a reading of Caio Fernando Abreu's work (1948-1996) that identifies in his writing an auto-fictional structure in which real and fictional elements are combined and entwined through a linguistic literary construction. One of the short stories of his book O ovo apunhalado is analyzed through this point of view. It is taken in consideration the fact that Caio F's works present this configuration since his first texts, which then became a constant element in his fictional writing.
