This review intends to present, in analytical form, the novel Dora without veil, published in 2018, by the writer Ronaldo Correia de Brito. Briefly, it seeks to show that, although the gender decentration of the narrative focus is significant, giving visibility to a female voice, what matters, above all, is the ratification of the author’s fictional project, in which the northeastern hinterland presents itself crossed by displacements and clashes of diverse order. They confront tradition and modernity, localism and cosmopolitanism, center and periphery, fixity and uprooting. Dora without veil puts in check the discursive image, introjected in the Brazilian regionalist fiction of the 1930s, of a hinterland of fixity and immobility.
