This paper aims at analyzing two short stories written by Daniel Galera: “A escrava branca” and “Intimidade”, published in the writer’s first book Dentes Guardados. The short stories, which approach relationships of convenience, show human beings in the center of chaos searching for something that maybe they do not even know what it is as they are so involved in their daily occupations. The path chosen for this analysis starts with theoretical contributions from studies about short stories carried out by writers such as Poe, Hemingway, Piglia and Cortázar. These theories are used in this article in order to observe how they can be important to the interpretation process of contemporary texts.Downloads
