This study intends to verify the approximation between the subject from the three novels of António Lobo Antunes – Memória de Elefante (1979), Os Cus de Judas (1979) and Conhecimento do Inferno (1980) – which have autobiographical traits – with the subject that appears in the book of letters of the same author, Deste viver aqui neste papel descripto: cartas da guerra (2005). This possible reading considers the common elements present in the three novels and in the book of letters: biographical data of the author and the historical-social context in which the subject of the four literary works was inserted; the assignment of the name António Lobo Antunes and the career as a psychiatrist to the central characters of the novels; and also the literary-technique presents in the book of letters. Considering that the letters threaten the limits between reality and fiction, the present study aims to verify how life and the literary work, fictional character and empirical author, merge into these four books. The research is divided into three chapters. The first chapter is based in interviews given by Lobo Antunes to Maria Luísa Blanco and others journalists that were organized by Ana Paula Arnaut, and studies of Maria Alzira Seixo about his novels, there are brief presentations of the author and the four literary works studied. In the second chapter, some concepts of literary criticism including the ones of Michel Foucault, Philippe Lejeune, Serge Doubrovsky, Diana Klinger and Leonor Arfuch about the "writings of self" were presented, with the intention of showing that Lobo Antunes goes beyond concepts of what is called autobiography or autofiction, constructing works that belong to a genre that is not yet defined by literary criticism. In the third chapter, it is related the metafictional features present in the three novels of the author and in the letters written by him during the war; the symbiotic relationship with writing and the belief in the power of literature. It was possible to observe, from the studies of Patricia Waugh, Linda Hutcheon and Gustavo Bernardo, that the author, extremely attentive to his work with the word, already problematized, since his letters, the text within the text itself, as well as the fictional reality. Moreover, rather than showing how the life and the literary work of the author are merged in the books studied, it is also intended to show that the literary project undertaken by the author, when he fuses with his literary work, is to make the literature a vehicle of affection and humanization of the reader
