Resumo: | The 1979 novel Os cus de Judas by António Lobo Antunes, is part of a trilogy with Memória de elefante ([1979] 2009) and Conhecimento do inferno ([1980] 2006), which he calls ‘the learning cycle’. It demystifies, in fiction, the official reports on the colonial war in an autobiographical elaboration. Dealing with the African colonial war, contemporary Portuguese society, alienation about the African events and the omissive silence among the upper classes, the narrative of a comeback is revealed by auto-reflexive reminiscence. The process, conducted by the Antonian narrator, constitutes a catharsis in front of the mirror, whose protagonist is a psychiatrist who speaks about, in and for himself from his childhood to the present. An overwhelming and vigorous writing introduces a new perspective into Portuguese literature in the historical period of post-25th April, dealt with in current article. |

O romance Os cus de Judas, de António Lobo Antunes, publicado em 1979, integra uma trilogia com Memória de elefante ([1979] 2009) e Conhecimento do inferno ([1980] 2006), a que o autor designa com ‘ciclo de aprendizagem’, que desmistifica, na ficção, os relatos oficiais sobre a guerra colonial numa elaboração autobiográfica. Tratando da guerra colonial africana, da sociedade portuguesa da época e da alienação vigente sobre os acontecimentos africanos, bem como do silenciamento omisso entre as classes mais bem situadas, a narrativa de um retornado é dada a conhecer pela rememoração autorreflexiva. Nesse processo, conduzido pelo narrador antuniano, constitui-se uma catarse diante do espelho protagonizada por um médico psiquiatra que fala de si, em si e por si mesmo desde o tempo da infância até o presente. É dessa impactante e vigorosa escrita que introduz uma nova perspectiva nas letras portuguesas no período histórico do pós 25 de abril que tratamos neste artigo.
