O objetivo deste projeto é pesquisar, na literatura contemporânea, o tema da construção de enigmas, que parece se fundamentar na relação entre ficção e poder. Serão analizados, entre outros textos, dois romances que utilizam o enigma para impulsionar a narrativa – Gerald’s party (1997), de Robert Coover, e The names (1982), de Don DeLillo.
