In this lecture, Fellipe Fernandes and Monique Malcher share their perspectives on the directions of contemporary literature. Drawing from their recent works — Uma tragédia latino-sertaneja and Sem mim não há dia (Urutau), a semifinalist for the 2024 Oceanos Prize, in Fernandes’s case; and Degola (Companhia das Letras), Malcher’s debut novel following the acclaimed Flor de gume, winner of the 2021 Jabuti Award — both authors discuss how the novel reinvents itself through narrative breath, memory, and the body.
The conversation explores the possibilities opened by the extended duration of narrative, the tensions between desire, land, and identity, and the ways in which literature transforms silence into living matter. Fernandes and Malcher delve into structure, voice, and narrative time, revealing new ways of giving form to individual and collective experiences in contemporary writing.
