Carola Saavedra and the art of riddles: on literature’s power and impotence
Keywords:
Carola Saavedra; essay; contemporary literature; Brazilian literatureAbstract
This work brings the review of the book O mundo desdobrável: ensaios para depois do fim, by the Brazilian writer Carola Saavedra. It attempts to show how Saavedra’s essays unfold the question “What can literature do?”. We also comment what we call the “theoretical incoherence” of the book, indicating, in the end, the possibilities Saavedra glimpses for the literature in the coming years.
