This article uses Marilene Felinto's work to reflect upon an obsession of ideas in the literary field, drawing a parallel between her debut novel As mulheres de Tijucopapo (1984) and her most recent publication, the novel Obsceno abandono: amor e perda (2002). Having established the obsession with recurrences that problematize the presence of the narrators, starting with a failure of language, we believe that this parallel can elucidate the idea of writing as a kind of attempt ”“ to write as a constant turn to the gesture of writing itself ”“ which would inevitably call into question literature, its power and value, as well as the idealized idea of the work, especially, when the principle of unreason appears on our horizon. These questions are also surrounded by the analysis of the current suggestion that the author's biography and fiction would merge, in addition to situating her work on a literary spectrum that would include Lima Barreto, on the side of the canonical, and Julian Garcia Pessanha on the side of the contemporary.
