Meshugá, by Jacques Fux: around extremely sensitive issues

Abstract

In this article, I analyze the novel Meshugá, by Brazilian writer Jacques Fux, looking for understand how are three main movements made in its literary constitution: a creating of an author’s mask, a dialogue with nonspecificities of literary genres, typical in contemporary literature, as well as an ethical thinking about the currently challenges and possibilities for the literature associated to memories of Holocaust and the persecutions to Jews throughout the history.

Keywords:
Jacques Fux; experimental writing; author’s masks; contemporary narrative; Antisemitism
