This article aims at interpretating portuguese identity issues in José Riço Direitinho’s novelBreviário das más inclinações. This narrative seems to incorporate post-modern forms, but the bizarreprotagonist José de Risso suggests a particular dissemination of traditional subjects. It seems indeed as ifPortugal itself was represented to such a hero as Risso, involved either in natural curses or in mysteriousmiracles.
