Desabrigo (Homelessness) by Antonio Fraga is a narrative characterized by routine scenes and dialogues. Desabrigo (Homelessness) passes through the Station and the Mangue and continually uses jargon, presenting the 'voice of the other', the marginalized class. It was published for the first time in 1945 and became famous for being the first book written in slang. Reprinted in 1990, it benefitted from the illustrations of Poty, making it an even more fascinating and engaging read.
