Abstract
Escritor fervoroso, suburbano, negro, aguerrido, irônico, combativo, maldito e incompreendido por seus contemporâneos, Afonso Henriques de Lima Barreto (1881-1922) desceu ao inferno, conhecendo o desprezo de críticos, o fracasso como escritor e a indiferença familiar por sua vocação literária. Inquieto na dor, ríspido com os hipócritas, teve diante de si a tragédia da loucura, do alcoolismo e do preconceito. Como escritor, afogou-se em bebedeiras numa época em que assumir a condição de negro era um ato de coragem. A sua expressão consciente acerca dos médicos, dos loucos e da loucura constitui o ponto inicial deste artigo, baseado na experiência de vida do escritor no Hospício Nacional e no levantamento de trechos expressivos de sua produção literária. Tais temas orientam-se pela construção de uma estética da existência, cuja vida em questão é analisada como obra de arte.
An impassioned writer, suburbano, black, daring, ironic, combative, accursed, and misunderstood by his contemporaries, Afonso Henriques de Lima Barreto (1881-1922) traveled to hell, experiencing the scorn of critics, failure as a writer, and his family's indifference towards his literary vocation. Restless in his pain and heavy-handed with hypocrites, he grappled with the tragedies of madness, alcoholism, and prejudice at a time when assuming one's condition as a black was an act of courage. His conscious observations about doctors, the mad, and madness is the point of departure for this study, based on the writer's experience at the Hospício Nacional and on a review of significant excerpts from Lima Barreto's literary production. The latter stands as an institutional and political issue and a criticism of the discourses that played important roles in preserving the structures of domination in the Old Republic.
