O a(u)tor e suas "interversões" em Retrato desnatural, de Evando Nascimento by Fabíola Padilha

“…This paper aims at proposing a reading of the supposedly fictional book Retrato desnatural (diários - 2004 a 2007), by Evando Nascimento, published in 2008, by observing the way through which the author, in consonance with the notion of “writable text” by Roland Barthes, entertains a dialogue with diverse artistic lan- guages (plastic arts, music, theater, cinema, literature) as well as with the western philosophy. It will also be verified that this dialogue, on its turn, flows into the idea of expropriation of the subject, since the author recognizes, under the sign of the "self", the innumerable traces of the others in his writing. …”
