This article seeks to analyze Augusto Abelaira's work named Bolor from perspective of its metafictional elements, based mainly on structural principles found in studies about narcissistic narrative of Linda Hutcheon. In this book, metaficcionals references were grouped in three selected categories: discursive elements of text itself, conveyed through confecional narrative in diary form, which generates more questions than answers, taking reader into process of writing; elements of intertextuality that allows a dialogue of literary text with other art forms such as painting and music, first widely presented in description of chromatic masses of characters and their behavioral textures and second giving highly dissonant narrative tone, finally, analysis of political elements of work, allowing subjection of Portuguese people, who went through a dictatorship, was reflected through the sharing of sensitive, captured by passivity of characters. By showing these elements, Abelaira's work shows that it preocupation isn't product itself, finished work, he invites reader to merge process of making story and even raises questions about this process, thus this work is one of reference works in Postmodern Literature.
