When I began my research on Ricardo Guilherme Dicke's text, I had to enter a universe in which he was a multifaceted artist. Visual artist, copy editor, teacher, translator, journalist, writer... These are the facets that boldly appear in Madona dos Páramos, a Dickean text that I analyzed and which I dare to say will become part of the Brazilian literary canon in the decades to come. With careful and rhythmic language, the settings are described in such a way as to make us feel the dust of the sertão. And characters that make us wonder if we are evil by nature or if we are evil, these are the aspects of a text constructed under the guidance of Ricardo Guilherme Dicke's imaginary brush.
