Fiction and testimony discusses the possibility of an analysis of the writing procedures used by António Lobo Antunes on his work. After reading four novels published during the last decade, the thesis highlights one of the projects that specify the writing of fiction of this Author: the representation of subjectivity as a verbal construct, and the presentation of characters created by the narrative voices themselves, articulated as a text. In this process, to produce the believable to the detriment of the truthful is the strategy used by the writer to grant to the accounts a density that put under strain the testimonial and fictional ideas. The entangled voices - whose action is the basis of the novels analyzed - points to the building of personages which are, at the same time, discursive places and emblems of the impossible fulfillment of a life project. We will show, from this reasoning, the way Lobo Antunes passionately stages the debacle of the myths supporting modern life, calling the attention to the discursive ways that format contemporary living.
