    • Abstract:
      An essay is presented on the critical response to the Brazilian author Graciliano Ramos in the U.S. The author reflects on how historical moments, ideological preferences, and cultural formations can influence the appreciation of Brazilian literature in the U.S. Topics discussed include the impact of the Cold War on literary studies, Graciliano's social realism, and the autobiographical aspects of the book "São Bernardo."
    • Abstract:
      Os estudos norte-americanos sobre a obra de Graciliano Ramos têm se detido sobre inumeráveis assuntos e não há dúvida de que seus livros terão um interesse permanente aqui. Ao mesmo tempo, e apesar do corpo substancial de escrita erudita sobre os textos de Graciliano, não existe um estudo sobre a história de sua recepção nos Estados Unidos, assunto que será o enfoque deste ensaio. Tal discussão será útil porque pode revelar momentos históricos definidores, tendências ideológicas e formações culturais que influenciaram a maneira pela qual selecionamos, lemos, e escrevemos sobre literatura.
