This work presents an analysis of Geneton Moraes Neto’s book Dossiê Brasília – Os segredos dos presidentes, which brings information in the question-answer format, providing also additional texts to introduce politicians, so as to bring to light the facts behind the scenes of power history in Brazil. The objective of the study is to verify the existence of the intersection between reality and fiction in the work; this study relies on various scholars, but, especially, on Paul Ricoeur. This study takes as object the section dedicated to the introductiona and interview with the ex-president Fernando Collor de Mello, who was the target of many controversies that involved his administration and removal from power. The analysis reveals the presence of literature in a journalistic work, corroborating the idea that history and fiction may coexist in a same work.
