Abstract

This text examines Murilo Mendes’s autobiographical narrative, A idade do serrate, in the light of some compositional elements present in his poetry. It points out that Mendes subverts narrative paradigms by making it similar to his poetic practice, as exemplified in his concept of pan-temporality.
