Abstract

The essay aims at unravelling the rise of a second “writing moment” in Guimarães Rosa’s work, delineated by a group of texts published in periodicals between Sagarana (1946) and the books of 1956, Corpo de baile and Grande sertão: veredas. Through the analysis of an important letter of the author and one of the capital texts of the period, “Com o vaqueiro Mariano”, we intend to devise the guidelines of a new inflexion in Rosa’s literature, characterized by the confrontation with the problems of “representative deficiency” inherent to Brazilian and international literary context and by the progressive constitution of a first person narrative voice marked by difficulties in narrating and by an adherent posture towards its matter that, as long as it gains concreteness in the texts, it must be thought in aesthetical and ideological terms.
