Of labyrinths, hearts and libraries: portrayals reading in the fiction of Adriana Lunardi

Abstract

This article questions the portrayal of reading in Adriana Lunardi's fiction, especially in the short stories from the book Vésperas (2002) and in the novel A vendedora de fósforos (2011). By means of her literary dialogues, Lunardi (re)creates lineages and establishes a genealogy for her own fiction, aiming to activate certain themes with the intent of thinking about the act of writing itself.
