This dissertation is centered on the analysis of three books by Augusto Abelaira, a Portuguese 20th century writer. Bolor, Quatro Paredes Nuas and O Triunfo da Morte have been chosen because they allow us to highlight some of the narrative procedures typical of this author. A brief historical overview is followed by an analysis of themes, textual elements, formal and structural characteristics recurrent in the author`s work. The dissertation focus on aspects that characterize Abelaira`s writing style, such as his constant use of subjects and themes. Our goal is to demonstrate that the very structure of his narrative precludes the existence of a privileged interpretation of the analyzed work. A parallel is postulated between the writer s technique of juxtaposition and discontinuous cinematographic editing techniques, as both share the same logical structuring. Finally, we analyze the relationship between the narrator and the various narrative plans in order to show that the narrators in these three books by Abelaira are a superposition of different narrative voices that make successive references to extra-fictional events. From the friction between fiction and reality that the narratives seem to present, we systematically investigate how Abelaira questions and highlights the limits of fiction writing.
