Disponível em: <https://www.revistas.ufg.br/sig/article/view/7255/5141>.0103-7250http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/14610Carta aos loucos, Carlos Nejar’s romance, is an allegoric narrative in which the author, inspired on the tradition of Homero’ s classical narrative, and making use of the parodist resource creates a new epic, based not on the relating of the already happened, but on the questioning, revealing a post-modern critical conscience. The esayist tries to elevate the ways by which the narrator dares new literary paradigms, recreating the classical mithology towards the binomial Time versus Word and to show how, enriched by the dinamic convenience on prose and poetry, the romance is an apology to “Verb”, a thesis shared by the contemporaneous fictionists.porAcesso AbertoBinômio palavra versus tempoÉpica modernaProsa poéticaLiteratura brasileiraBinomial word versus timeModern epicsPoetical proseBrazilian literatureArtigo10.5216/sig.v10i1.7255
