Mem6rias do Cdrcere (1953) by Graciliano Ramos adds an important marker to the topology of au- tobiography, for the memoirs show the author's conscious manipulation of facts to transform them into a be- lievable narrative account which calls for the reader's imagination in the recreation of his life in prison. A Lacanian discourse analysis reveals the strategies employed by Graciliano Ramos in avoiding the pitfalls in- herent in autobiographical writing as he construes a believable narrative, which offers a powerful alternative to the official version of history
