This essay aims to address the issue of space in Wesley Peres' Casa entre vértebras (2007), by showing how the lyrical narrative, through non referential and metaphorical language, can introduce new questions to the subject. Furthermore, in a broader perspective, it intends to briefly present some theoretical principles of lyricism in narratives and the displacement undergone by lyrical novels in national literary historiography as well.
