In Infância (2003), by Graciliano Ramos, memory appears as a mosaic form, which has forgetfulness as its creative force. The past can’t be seen as a whole, but as fragments. Fragmentation is present at various levels of this work construction. The way of ordering the brief chapters, with considerable autonomy in relation to the whole, or the language, full of discontinuities, can be seen as examples of this procedure. The fragmentation allows the fictional aspects of the text. Based on these observations, this article analyses the procedures of fragmentation built on the work, and shows how the gaps made by forgetfulness are filled in the process of past reconstruction.
