A escrita feminina de Leonard Cohen em A Brincadeira Favorita

Abstract

In The Favorite Game (1963), Leonard Cohen uses feminine writing, embodied and eroticized language, to express the inner world of lovers inserted in his novel. This study seeks to test the hypothesis that women’s writing is not restricted to female authors and, in fact, is a resource that can also be employed by male authors. First, we will discuss aspects of male women’s writing, a theory presented by Lucia Castello Branco in O que é escrita feminina? (1991). Then we will develop an analysis of the novel in light of this concept, for we designate which thematic aspects, stylistic and structural concern in this discourse segment.
