However, for aspiring to defend new ideas in social and political fields, his "voluminous, thick-lipped and dark figure with a very smooth coat" (as registered by Gilberto Amado) became a perfect target for all sorts of reactionaries, homophobics and racists like Humberto de Campos.

#1732851121324312-453: The burial of the writer that years before, under the pen name of Godofredo de Alencar, had registered his preferential option for the diversity: The name Paulo Barreto christens an ordinary street in the quarter of Botafogo, in Rio de Janeiro. As Graciliano Ramos pointed out, the homage made is modest: they had offered a short street to him (Gomes, 1996, p. 11). His name is also the name of
338-508: The city of Rio de Janeiro . Threatened by a fishing nationalization law decreed by the Brazilian government, the Poveiros went on strike. The activity of Barreto in favor of the Portuguese colony brought to him a lot of enemies, numberless moral offences ( leaf lard with two eyes was one of the lightest) and even a despicable episode of physical aggression: entrapped alone when he took a meal in
364-481: The dancer would have questioned Barreto about his pederasty, and he would have answered in French: Je suis très corrompu ( I am very corrupted ).

416-492: The idea. Since early, the sexual preferences of Barreto brought forth suspicion (and, later, gibe) among his contemporaries. Bachelor, without girlfriend or known mistress, many of his texts transpire a sufficiently explicit homoerotic inclination. The suspicion was eventually confirmed when he presented himself as promoter in Brazil of the "cursed" Oscar Wilde , whose works he translated into Portuguese. Historians have labeled him as
442-400: The name that fixes the literary identity swallows Paulo Barreto. Under this mask he will publish all his books and cultivates his fame. Next to the name, the name of the city".

494-406: The similarity seems to be much more in the general idea (an inquiry on the manifestations of religious minorities in a big city) than in the plan of the formal accomplishment. The news articles series aroused such great curiosity that Barreto published them in book form, and sold more than 8,000 copies in six years. This achievement is still more impressive in view of the restricted reading public of
520-479: The time, in a country with high illiteracy rates. Some biographers criticize Barreto for the fact that, when he realised the bonanza he could obtain by the publication of collections (something that would become common in Brazil in the second half of 20th century), he developed a "formula" to inflate his own bibliography.

650-565: Was regarded as of little account, a lesser activity for people with many vacant hours (e.g., public servants). Paulo Barreto moved the literary creation frontwards and started to live from this, using his pen names (more than ten) to attract various audiences. Between February and March 1904, he carried through a series of news articles entitled As religiões no Rio ( The religions in Rio ).
