Lília Moritz Schwarcz (São Paulo, 1957) is perhaps the most outstanding female figure in Brazilian intellectual production, inside and outside her country. Brazil. Uma biografia, published in 2015 and translated into Spanish the following year, is a specific example of her Latin American diffusion. The concern for the biography returns in Lima Barreto. Triste visionário (2017). The reconstruction of the life of the Carioca writer registers several particularities that imply a renewal of the genre for literary criticism. Schwarcz’s proposal aims to approach biography as a literarian life of the subject of a biography and self-examination of one’s own work. The development of biography as a critical method, as well as a roadmap for one’s career, requires an evaluation of the critical subject that founds a tendency while fulfilling a task of personal and professional introspection.
