Bernardo Carvalho, Nine Nights, Literature and History, PolyphonyAbstract
The novel Nine Nights by Bernardo Carvalho, was published in 2002 and has been wide acclaimed In this book, Carvalho entangled reality (history) and fiction, and works with a set of multiple voices in the construction of discourse. The novel is open for literary criticism in two different senses which, at the same time, complement each other: the study of the relationship between fiction and history, and polyphony, a concept defined and theorized by Mikhail Bakhtin. Because we believe in the complementarity of these two lines of critical analysis, this paper intends to do a study under these two perspectives of analysis.Downloads
