This study examines the discourse produced, under the effects of supernatural inspiration, by the visionary characters in the narrative of Moacyr Scliar. The short story “Os profetas de Banjamim Bok” and the novel A estranha nação de Rafael Mendes offer diverse manifestations of inspired speech, mixing the conventions of prophetic and apocalyptic literature with elements derived from other eras and cultures. In the ingenious novel A mulher que escreveu a Bíblia, one finds a fusion of the traditional belief in revealed writing with some concepts typical of late twentieth-century feminism, centering on woman, her body, and her writing.
