| Summary: | What is it like to be a lesbian? The book Amora, by Natalia Borges Polesso (2018), although it circulates the subject, avoids a direct answer, but presents some affections densities and modulations of secret love, which are clues to the invisibility of lesbian affection. To invest in the theme, we will focus on the short story Vó, a senhora é lésbica? (Grandma, are you a lesbian?), dialoguing with Monique Wittig and other authors who proposed a lesbian utopia, using the literary text itself as a self-reflective resource. The writer’s effort in the short story is to break with the tradition of silencing and to propose an opening of topics for discussion within the family in order to break through heterosexual oppression. |
