Abstract

The literary work of writer Caio Fernando Abreu has been seen as a portrait of his generation, especially in its relation with the brazilian military dictatorship and the political redemocratization. This text analyzes how the formal resources of omniscient narrator and autoconscious character build, in the short stories Dama da noite and Aqueles dois, a relation between Literature and Society. By means of these specific formal choices, we verify as the narrative represents, not only as theme, but also in a formal level, a transitional historical context, initially configured by social repression and, after, for a political overture perspective.
