O Louco do Catí: o nascer da identidade
The madman of Catí is one of the richest and most instigating characters of Brazilian fiction. His story is unknown to the moment he arrives at a suburban grocery store to buy cigarettes, as it will be after he frees himself of the fears that prevent him from living. In Dyonélio Machado’s novel, he is thrown into an adventure that happens along a journey during which he remains alienated and submissive to other people’s decisions. However, brief sequences show that he can decide by himself, as will do in the last chapters of the book, when he assumes the identity which his fears have prevented from emerging. In this paper about O Louco do Catí we will compile the words that name him throughout the novel – since he a nameless character – and the resource that the narrator uses to characterize him and his trajectory in search of himself.
