This work aims to analyze the work Diary of a bad year, J.M. Coetzee, in their formal and content elements, especially from the physical work architecture and the relationships between the personages. Formal writer choices refer to elements of postmodernism aesthetics, as the hybridity of genres, the metafiction and rhizomatic way, but backers of an ethical and humanistic axiological content. Thus, the analysis aims to demonstrate how the work, understood in its entirety, relates dialectically with aesthetics and postmodern episteme, retaining essential elements and overcoming the experimental superficiality and thematic criticized by authors such as Jameson and Eagleton.Downloads
