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. Asa community and carriers of a non-official memory, they are the involuntary protagonists of a massivegeneration rupture, impacting considerably on the entire society. This research looks at the work of thePortuguese writer Olga Gonçalves. In her fictional diaries, I analyze the process of self-biographizationand the way it intertwines with a reconstruction of the Portuguese youth historical memories and thedecomposition of some hegemonic readings widely reproduced about this post-revolutionary period.
