Resumen
The Brazilian contemporary narrative is characterized by the multiplicity of
styles and themes. There is, however, a recurring element in the prose of the last
decades: the representation of violence. Fernando Bonassi is a contemporary writer
and is part of a generation of writers that report violence through a brutalist style. The
present study has as its object his book Um céu de estrelas (1991) and presents a
reading proposal focusing on the representation of violence. We direct our attention
to the "narrator" category, seeking to understand how the choice of type of narrator
and of the narrative focus consolidates in the text the theme of violence. This study is
justified for reflecting some characteristics of contemporary literature and for
highlighting issues such as the trivialization of violence, for many situations that are
today acknowledged as violence by social sciences, as violence against women, are
still seen as natural by a great portion of the population.
