Waldomiro Freitas Autran Dourado (1926 – September 30, 2012) was a Brazilian novelist.

Dourado was born in Patos de Minas, state of Minas Gerais. Going against current trends in Brazilian literature, Dourado's works display much concern with literary form, with many obscure words and expressions. Minas Gerais is the setting for most of Dourado's books, resembling the early to mid-20th century regionalist trend in Brazilian literature. Most literary critics consider Dourado's work to have similarities to Baroque literature.

In 1981, Dourado won the prestigious Goethe Prize.

In 2000, Dourado won the Camões Prize, the most important literary prize in the Portuguese sprachraum. ...more

Quotes by Autran Dourado (?)

“(...) não vamos mais na ordenação desta história e no risco, Senhor, porque seria longo de ouvir. E o homem que ordena histórias não deve contar mais curto do que foi ou mais longo do que deve. Tal aprendi com os que ensinam a por em crônica sucessos de natureza vária.”
― Autran Dourado, A Barca dos Homens

“{...} e o meu silêncio é cheio de vozes,prenhe de lembrança. Qualquer coisinha - um cheiro,um ruído,um ventinho bobo,me levam para longe. Pra muito longe daqui,pro país das vozes mortas...”

“As lágrimas secaram, abriu o livro ao acaso. Os olhos encontraram uns versos soltos na brancura amarela da página. As letras dançavam, tinha de firmar bem a vista para distinguir as palavras. As letras embaralhadas, ela tonta, uma névoa envolvia-a toda. As letras pareciam bichinhos inquietos.”
― Autran Dourado, Ópera dos Mortos
