We resort to the articulation between landscape and character as a master analytic category in Victor Heringer’s fiction (1988-2018). Specifically, we take the novel O amor dos homens avulsos (Love by odd men, 2016), to shed light on the chronotopic constitution of its leading character in the face of limits cast onto wretched bodies and homoerotic sexualities. Our theoretical framework is grounded in the contributions of Michel Collot (2013), Raymond Williams (1989), and Walter Benjamin (1989, 1994). We aim to illuminate both the writer’s relevance to contemporary/post-modern literary studies, given his sudden and premature departure, and the convergence between the urgency of his agenda and the mastery of his language, and, for all that, his still rare critical fortune.
