RESUMO:

This work has as its research corpus the work Contos Estranhos (2017) which,

 based on bibliographic and analytical studies, aims to study the contemporary fantastic literature present in 

the narratives of writer Eduardo Mahon from Mato Grosso. The work consists of thirty-five short stories, 

in a bilingual edition. Contemporary fantastic literature depends on the insertion of the unusual element as 

an indispensable factor to produce the fantastic effect in the narratives. To compose the stories, 

Eduardo Mahon appropriates the fantastic genre and its strange subgenre, inserting unusual cases in a banal event,

 causing the character and the reader to feel strange because of this element that

 reveals the absurdity that is the human condition. Our proposal is to analyze how the unusual 

element is installed in the characters' daily life, modifying the narrative plot and highlighting a 

recurrent phenomenon in the stories, which is the change in the protagonists' bodies, and 

present narratives that dialogue with classical texts. Unlike the traditional fantastic literature theorized by 

Todorov which causes fear and horror, in contemporary fantastic literature, what promotes hesitation 

is no longer monsters, spirits or demons, but the absurdity that settles in the narratives with the 

transgression of reality and the interdicts, characteristics that are characteristic of the contemporary 

world. Thus, the theoretical basis that supports and distinguishes the contemporary fantastic genre 

was given by Todorov (1975), Calasans (1988), Roas (2014) and Pierini (2017), Sartre (2005) and 

Alazraki (2001). With regard to the context of postmodernism, Eagleton (1998) and Fernandes (2019). 

With regard to the History of Literature of Mato Grosso, we highlight the contributions of Magalhães (2001)

 and Castrillon Mendes (2020). On the theory of the contemporary short story, we based on Piglia (2004), 

Gotlib (2006), Cortazar (2008), Poe (2011), Bosi (2015) and Junior (2019) with the elements of

 narrative reading among other researchers who contribute to these reflections. The research seeks to 

contribute to the critical studies of contemporary fantastic literature produced in Mato Grosso, as well as 

to give visibility to the work and the writer.
