Abstract

This research project proposes the study of the memoirist work of Graciliano Ramos. Some elements will be searched in order to show the creative process of the author, taking as its starting point the work of the narrators, character, or witness, and their processes of composition- the presentation of events, as well as the devices and resources used to weave and organize these narratives that pass through the experience reporting and literary writing.
