Abstract

The short story Na terra dos Bonecos Carecas addresses poverty and its experiences in the figure of the main character, the narrative unfolds somewhere in the Brazilian dry land. The metaphor of bald dolls is brought in, to produce the strangeness and also the familiarity with the most common toy objects of the poverty-stricken classes. Life is questioned, at the same time that death becomes something common and expected for those who feel without rain, without plants, without roots, only skin and bones, only silence and crying.
