Eles eram muitos cavalos, de Luiz Ruffato: desconstrução, hibridismo e fragmentação

Abstract

Fragmentation has been a much-used resource in contemporary fiction and different ways of narrating through the observation of the image have gained a lot of space in the works. This paper aims to analyze the narrative construction in the novel Eles eram muitos horses (2001), by Luiz Ruffato, from an analytical reading that highlights the main resources used by the author, highlighting its hybrid and fragmentary character. To do so, we carry out a theoretical path that discusses contemporary Brazilian literature, its main Brazilian contemporary literature, its main aspects, and the strategies of narration in this moment of literary production. Ruffato portrays in his fiction the production of a contemporary Brazilian literature that brings together the political and engaged act of thinking about reality and the innovative aesthetic constitution in the act of narrate Keywords: contemporary Brazilian literature; fragmentation; hybridization; Luiz Ruffato
