Editor's Note:
Obra-prima da carpintaria literária, O risco do bordado vem percorrendo desde seu lançamento, em 1970, o caminho típico de um clássico contemporâneo, alcançando um notável sucesso de público e crítica, suscitando inúmeras teses universitárias e sendo adotado como leitura curricular. O próprio Autran Dourado considera-o o eixo central de sua obra pela forma com que conjuga sua obsessiva construção de uma mítica mineira. "Escrevo para compreender Minas", declarou ele.Ambientado na mítica Duas Pontes, cidade a que retornaria em outros livros como uma síntese do universo interiorano de seus personagens, O risco do bordado é uma viagem ao passado do escritor João da Fonseca Ribeiro, que volta ao cenário de sua infância. Ao encontrar antigos moradores da cidade, parentes e companheiros de infância, ele vai montando uma espécie de quebra-cabeças entre o vivido e o imaginado, completando e expandindo fragmentos de memória que são a narrativa de sua infância e adolescência.Como num típico romance de formação, em que o principal interesse está no crescimento e desenvolvimento do protagonista, o leitor vai sabendo, aos poucos, como João se tornou o que é, sua dura trajetória na descoberta da sexualidade, da amizade, da traição e, também, da literatura. Prostitutas, jagunços, antepassados mortos, parentes velhos, figuras características de Duas Pontes cruzam o caminho de João, que desta forma vai enxergando, retrospectivamente, o risco sob o bordado que, afinal, é a sua própria história de vida.Autran Dourado dá à narrativa o ritmo descontínuo da memória. Ele trabalha idas e vindas e histórias fragmentadas que, num primeiro momento, podem se assemelhar a contos sutilmente interligados. Arquitetado paciente e minuciosamente a partir de gráficos e esquemas, O risco do bordado tem um similar na obra do autor: Uma poética do romance. Neste ensaio, também reeditado pela Rocco, ele explica cada detalhe da construção do romance, publica os desenhos e plantas-baixas que auxiliaram sua construção e reflete sobre seu processo de criação como um todo.
