Descrição
Resumo:In the work entitled Vésperas (2002), the author Adriana Lunardi brings to the reader the last moments of the lives of great writers of world literature, such as Virginia Woolf, Dorothy Parker, Katherine Mansfield, Sylvia Plath, Zelda Fitzgerald, among others. However the stories are not their biographies. The facts occurred in the lives of these authors, allied to reality, are permeated by situations, clippings and characters that existed in the works of each of them, what we call polyphonic curatorship (RABELO, 2021). In the short story “Dottie”, we have the american author Dorothy Parker, in this we see a relationship between the author's life, her scripts, published stories and particularities of life. Thus, in a polyphonic curatorial process, whose curator is Lunardi, this article intends to analyze the short story “Dottie”, mainly its aspects related to loneliness and death, recurrent themes also in the works and in the american author's life, and in dialogue with Michel Schneider in the essay “Excuse my dust”, published in the book Morts imaginaires (2005). Therefore, the studies of Ariés (2003), Bakhtin (2018), Bloom (1991), Minois (2019), Morin (1997), Villa-Forte (2019) and others that prove to be relevant will be used as a theoretical contribution.
