abstract
This article intends to reflect on the central place of Ferréz’s production in the panorama of contemporary Brazilian literature inquiring into the contemporaneity of the questions it poses. We propose that his first two novels Capão pecado (2000) and Manual prático do ódio (2003) carry out a process of destabilization and renewal of the distinction between fiction and non-fiction, on the one hand, and a singular proposal of the status of the real, on the other.
