THE INDIGESTED FICTIONALITY OF O CADERNO ROSA DE LORI LAMBY, BY HILDA HILST

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the issue of fictionality in O Caderno Rosa by Lori Lamby (1990), by the São Paulo writer Hilda Hilst, a work in which we have an eight-year-old narrator who, through a cynically infantilized language, constructs a detailed record of your sexual experiences. Since this theme is sometimes indigestible (as it was for publishers at the time of its publication), reflection on what is fictional becomes fundamental to think about the proposed literary reality concept for the work. This question is relevant even to understand the different interpretations that Hilda raised with the aforementioned narrative, which inaugurated her pornographic production.
