Abstract

Departing from a collection of biographemes around João Guimarães Rosa – taken here as a character of his own singular project of intertwining life and work – the short story “Os chapéus transeuntes” will be read as a self-fictional performance; in other words, the writing of this story may have served as a gesture of confession and contrition by Rosa himself, who would thus atone for his greater sin: Pride. My research hypothesis is that the critical apparatus unveils a “pink” Rosa, acting in order to attenuate his “narcissistic speech” (CHAUVIN, 2020), as well as to obliterate the traditional relationship of this color to femininity. As a conclusion, some questions not yet properly answered will be explored about that author.
