Crônica: a provocação e o espetáculo

Abstract

The book De amor e traição, by Maria Cilene is already noticeable as hybrid, or rather multple literary expression, assuming various forms: that of allegory, confession, monologue or dialogue around real or imaginary characters. Refusing to be restricted to registering events only, without going deep into its causes, or attributing them any interpretation, her chronicle found a place between poetry and short-story, bringing in a personal, subjective view facing everyday hepennings. The author stands as na observer of street scenes, including the presence of the type, be it in its anonymous dimension, be it in the capture of details, and of the movement of people moving in the city, thus forming as aesthetic representation of society.
