Self-Narratives and Writer’s Myth: José Luis Peixoto

Vânia Rego

Abstract


Through a series of continuous innovations, the literary work of José Luís Peixoto always emphasizes the value of the self. The intersection between self-fiction and the language of the self, most often in stories dealing with identity, creates a kind of writing that quivers between creative imaginative fiction and autobiographical writing of the self, in an idiosyncratic double-drive characteristic of this author. The power of Peixoto’s work spawns from the communion of his unique ideological vision of contemporary Portuguese society and his use of a language that is extremely lyrical, and full of symbolism.
