| Summary: | Lessons from Modernity are sought in the early work of Raul Brandão, with particular reference
to the construction of the “interior monologue” as “meditation” and “soliloquy”, as well as the
stream of consciousness, which, especially in A Farsa and Humus, expresses a mental speech approximate
to the “nouveau roman”. Because of the dismantling of the traditional intrigue through
the creation of a symbolic space and the dilution of the characters in a narrative magma, in which
Time becomes the driving force for the “action”, Raul Brandão’s work could be regarded as a “nouveau
roman” avant la lettre: the monologues oscillate between remembrance and project, the real
and the imaginary, and so anticipate James Joyceʼs Ulysses, which represents the world in its essentiality;
under the aegis of Modernity, there is an interruption of the gender protocols of the novel. |
