Abstract

The article comprises a brief analysis of the multiple openings of Paulo Lins' first novel. Starting from what some in Literary Theory call incipit, a commentary of the multiplicity of openings that singularizes the narrative in question is made, taking into account, in a first moment, what this very multiplicity represents as radical indecision of the literary form that is going to be systematized in its further development. In a second moment, the text tries to develop some of the themes that emerge in these initial passages, themes that are also to be developed throughout the entire novel.
