Entre o riso e a ruína: humor, romance e regionalismo em José Lins do Rego

Resumen

This work proposes an analysis of the novel Fogo morto, published in 1943 by José Lins do Rego, considering the way by which humour operates as an instrument that particularizes this narrative in the fiction of its author. The proposed question is that humour articulates critical and psychological analysis in the definition of regionalist novel of “Generation of Thirty” in Brazilian Modernism.
