Descripción
Sumario:The present work proposes a way of reading  Niketche, the most recent novel of the Mozambican writer Paulina Chiziane,  pointing at the musical resources as elements which participate in spoken practice. In the rhythm of dance, the characters' path is intertwined, as well as the construction of the text itself. Within a feminine vision of the world, a universe marked by musicality is created, by means of  rescaling the Portuguese language and the musical construction in the fictional text.
