O Livro do Desassossego e a essência literária da escrita

Based on Bernardo Soares’ Book of Disquiet , I will reflect on several issues that I consider central to this work by this semi-heteronymous person: the problem of referentiality; the sense of freedom he finds in the literary sphere; the dialogue (central to this semi-heteronomous person) between the biographical self and the fictional self, taking into account above all the possibilities of reading that they imply on this relationship; the way in which the narrator Bernardo Soares fixes the (re)constitution of a self in the “autobiography without facts” as he himself identifies his Book ; the deconstruction of the autobiographical; the daily complexion that ends up partially determining the process of representation of the Book - not identifiable, however, unilaterally with the indexed record of the empirical reality; its critical positioning in relation to a civilized context "emptied" of respect for each individual; the narrator's search for identity, which seeks to reconstruct himself through the aesthetic-literary vigor with which he constantly digresses on thematic nuclei initialed by anguish, skepticism, uneasiness, unrest; Bernardo Soares' position on literary writing as writing.
