One of the works of Luiz Ruffato most acclaimed by literary criticism. In this book the author guides us, through the correspondence between the protagonist with his mother and the family, for some of the social problems of Brazil in the second half of the 20th century. Almost half a hundred letters bring the reader closer to the conflicts between the workers forced to displace, to leave housing, neighbors and their roots due to industrial and urban growth; also to the fall of politicians and the setbacks of a rapidly changing country. Of mim já nem lembra is a novel that shows us the constant problem of literature, very present for the author: the confluence and difficult division between fiction and reality.
