Mia Couto, A varanda do frangipani, enigma novels.Abstract
This article aims to analyze how the novel A varanda do frangipani, by Mia Couto, deconstructs the “enigma novels” to make a critical denunciation of the hegemony of Eurocentric mentality. For this, we will use, as comparison object, the short story “The Murders in the Rue Morgue”, by Edgar Allan Poe, considered by literary critics as the first published police narrative.
