Abstract

In the fiction of Christopher Isherwood and Marilene Felinto, everydayness is represented as if it were a traditional archive, that is, a collection of codes and social rules whose reason was lost in routine. In order to see afresh one’s own habits, one has to bring to the fore the underlying logic of the collection of gestures and intentions that compose everydayness. The act of bringing this logic to the fore reveals the very meaning of ficitionality.
