The experimental character in Graciliano Ramos’ novel, Barren Lives, allows the apprehension of the social fracture considering the contradictions between the narrator-intellectual and the stream of consciousness of a peasant family, driven away by the drought. Labor itself comes to the fore, in a context in which the local oligarchies see their own downfall (the coffee crises of 1929), a patriarchal national-populism arises (the Getulio Vargas’ era), and a critical imagination takes place.Downloads
