UM FANTSAMA INVADE A NARRATIVA CONTEMPORÂNEA DE NELSON DE OLIVEIRA

Abstract

Nelson de Oliveira’s short story “O Fantsama da Máqiuna” (2005) has, in the figure-phantom who operates like a computer virus, the responsible for the narrative’s disarrangement, starting with the writing itself, which is in a visible disorder. The foundation of the narrative act lies in the first instance that presents a love involvement between a dramatized narrator and a female character called Débora (or Deobra), in a constant mutation between the reality of a presence (the woman) and the virtuality of another (the book). Author, narrator, character and text are in a continuous movement of showing-disappearing, revealing to the reader a universe contaminated by the virtual reality.
