An oasis of horror

By Luís Otávio Hott

This study aims to analyse the narrative strategies that enable the representation of different aspects of the grotesque in Rubem Fonseca's novel Romance negro e outras hist rias, proposing the consideration of the grotesque as a discursive genre, literary aesthetic, attitude and cultural practice, operating from two main paths: the grotesque as a predominant aesthetic representation in contemporary times and the grotesque as a form of transgression of the social codes in force in modern capitalist society.
