Comida, bebida e erotismo em "P I: Duas vezes com Helena" de Paulo Emílio Sales Gomes

Abstract

This article aims to investigate the theme of food and drink in the first short story of Paulo Emílio Sales Gomes’ Três mulheres de três PPPês. Such theme is secondary and never entirely autonomous in this book, however, in “P I: Duas vezes com Helena” it is highlighted , given its traditional connection with eroticism. Its article second aim, which arises somehow from the first, is to try to show how the movies and its criticism (Paulo Emílio’s profession) are building elements of two specific scenes: the first dinner, and Polydoro and Helena’s stay at a Campos de Jordão cottage. In order to achieve such goal, this article relies on several Paulo Emílio’s movie criticism essays.
