Álbum de Família de Nelson Rodrigues: uma obra autoficcional com cinco capas

: This article proposes a fifth cover for Álbum de Família by Nelson Rodrigues. We start by approaching propositions from Lejeune (2014) and Doubrovsky (2014) regarding autobiography and autofiction. We considered Colonna’s (2014) proposal about autofictional categories. We looked to Barthes (2001) and his warning about the discourse not containing tactical thoughts of reality. From Rilke (2009), we did welcome his recommendation that literary writing is a boost in the lives of those who venture into it. Supported by Lebrun (2009) who considers that the motor of an action is the object of a drive and, also, impacted by the obsessions of Nelson’s life being present in his Álbum, we speculate if in this work there would be something of instinctual order that would justify the existence of a fifth cover for this work under review.
