The purpose of this article is to analyze how the narrator of the narratives O escaravelho do diabo (1974), by Lucia Machado de Almeida, Cidade dos deitados (2008), by Heloisa Prieto, and Meu pai nao mora mais aqui (2008), by Caio Riter, is constructed so as to perceive how the reader can be approached to or distanced from the text. A careful reading shows that Almeida's book has a more manipulative narrator because he makes summaries and comments, leaving little room for the creative participation of the reader; on the other hand, the narrator which is present in Prieto and Riter grants autonomy in reading and seeks for a reader who fills gaps through resources such as the young character's point of view and the expression of his subjectivity.
