Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyse and interpret the figure of Maria Lourdes Castro, called Daisy or Miss Cyclone in the collective diary O perfeito cozinheiro das almas deste mundo (1918) in the background of the history of Brazilian Modernism. In this sense, this author-character has subjective and aesthetical specificities which can open new perspectives for the aproach of Brazilian Modernism, as well as the literary works and the personality of Oswald de Andrade. My hypothesis is that her incomplete and fragmentary image points to a more drastic incompleteness and fragmentation: that of the very notion we have of Brazilian Modernism.
