The writer Nilma Gonçalves Lacerda (Rio de Janeiro, 1948) has her debut in literature in 1986, with the novel Manual de tapeçaria. Despite the more than 30 years of its publication, this work has few studies dedicated to it. It is considered, nevertheless, that Manual deserves new and current readings, having in mind, first of all, its little traditional shape, occasioned in great part by the use of varied textual genres. The use of different genres is one of the points highlighted by the postulated of the theorist Mikhail Bakhtin; example of this are his appointments in the work Problems of Dostoiévski’s Poetics (1963). When studying the work of the Russian writer, Bakhtin presents the concepts of carnivalized literature and carnivalization of literature, which end by referring to the emergence of the Romanesque genre. Thus, this work has as main objective to present a proposal of reading of the Book of Lacerda, seeking to identify the aspects that, according to Bakhtin, belong to the Romanesque genre since its origin. The dialog between the novelist and the theorist, furthermore, shows itself fruitful in demonstrating the currency of both.
