Read about Realismo Fantástico

This article analyses two stories by Murilo Rubião: Teleco, o Coelhinho and Os Dragões, both published in the most recent edition of the collection "A Casa do Girassol Vermelho" (1993). The approach presented here focuses on the recurring procedures in the author’s work regarding the fantastic. Paradoxically, the fantastic here is part of the search for a radical realism, which highlights the author’s view about man: Rubião follows the saga of beings imprisoned by the bureaucracy of daily life, annihilated by a permanent misery, which the fantastic element actually lays bare.

Key-words: Realism, Fantastic, Murilo Rubião
