Abstract

This work aims at to introduce a study of the literary component in the call literary journalism, taking as starting point the analysis of three books: Hiroshima, of John Hersey, The cold blood, of Truman Capote, and Olga, of Fernando Morais. Proposal is to understand for what of heading "literary" that the three chosen book-news articles possess - the election was made by means of a previous research, that pointed these books as landmarks in the call "New Journalism" (variant of the journalism literary name), as much in how much national the international scene; also because they are distinct between itself (fragments of histories; narrative romance and biography, respectively) e, therefore, given more as corpus of the work. In this direction, we use of these in such a way three workmanships, recognized for the critical one how much for the publishing market, to investigate a probable hibridism between the literary and journalistic speeches. For in such a way, two questions is of basic importance, namely, the language and the relation of the journalism and literature with the "real", compelling to a study on the theoretical concepts in special of literature.
