Abstract

[por] Rubem Fonseca é considerado um autor chave na introdução do policial no Brasil. O artigo revisa a sua contribuição no gênero e analisa as especificidades da sua narrativa no quadro da literatura brasileira, na qual Fonseca representa várias ruturas e ultrapassa as clássicas dicotomias entre o culto e o popular. Fonseca insere-se nas distintas tradições do policial, que reinterpreta de forma distinta nos seus contos em que dá a voz aos marginais e nos romances que incorporam elementos do hard-boiled, do noir e até do romance enigma. A figura de Mandrake é situada nesse contexto que evolui para preocupações crescentemente paraliterárias.


[eng] Rubem Fonseca is considered a key author in the introduction of crime fiction in Brazil. This article reviews his contribution to the genre and analyzes the specifics of his narrative in the context of Brazilian literature, in which Fonseca breaks from and exceeds the traditional dichotomies between high and popular literature. Fonseca becomes part of the distinct tradition of crime fiction, which he reinterprets differently in his short stories by giving voice to the marginalized, and in his novels by incorporating elements of hardboiled, noir fiction, and even whodunit. The character of Mandrake is situated in a context that increasingly includes paraliterary concerns.
