ResumoThe article refers back to the publishing context ofJoão Guimarães Rosa’s Sagarana in 1946 by focusingon some of the reviews and documents published in thepress at the time. We depart from a collection of cuttingsorganized by Rosa himself and which now belongsto the Fundo João Guimarães Rosa of the Instituto deEstudos Brasileiros of the Universidade de São Paulo.Our intention is to observe the book’s entry in the literarylocal canon. Amongst matters of genre, style, originalityand repetition we also discuss the polemic raisedby Álvaro Lins’s inaugurating article, accused of promotingthe book in exchange for a position favored byItamaraty, institution where Guimarães Rosa worked.Our purpose is to provide an investigation on the factorswhich construct a literary name, apart from theliterary excellence credited to Guimarães Rosa’s text.
