Abstract
n this article, I aim to understand the cordel leaflet titled José Saramago: vida e morte (n.d.) by the Brazilian writer Medeiros Braga as literature and as political action. Based on Medeiros Braga’s ideas about the Portuguese writer, I propose an interpretation of socialism by both Saramago and the Brazilian author. I argue in favor of what Saramago said about himself: he did not see himself as a writer who was a communist, but as a communist who was a writer. At the same time, I show that the formula “writer who was a communist” fits Medeiros Braga.
