Confronted with deep social changes in the post April period, from 1980 onwards, Portuguese youth initiate a particular, perhaps avant-garde, way of experiencing and acting in society. As a community and carriers of a non-official memory, they are the involuntary protagonists of a massive generation rupture, impacting considerably on the entire society. This research looks at the work of the Portuguese writer Olga Gonçalves. In her fictional diaries, I analyze the process of self-biographization and the way it intertwines with a reconstruction of the Portuguese youth historical memories and the decomposition of some hegemonic readings widely reproduced about this post-revolutionary period.
