This academic work consists of a discussion about the Brazilian literary canon, focusing on questions about how and by whom it is formed, who keeps it and how it is maintained. The singular analysis reflects on the writer José Condé's absence on the daily routine of reading nowadays. As he is a practically unknown author today, the works begins with the writer's biography presentation and then it makes some inroads in his works as a writer and journalist, based on observations made on his private library. The reflection about the literary canon and some canonical instances tries to find the reasons why Condé's work is sold out in bookstores and publishing houses. Interviews with José Condé's contemporaries, family and friends were made to conduct the research in order to saddle up the writer's widest possible life panel and there were also interviews with people linked to Literature, either in the production of books, holding events or taking part in the composition of Academies. The theoretical reflection is based on Michel de Certeau (2011), Roger Chartier (1998, 1999,2001, 2002, 2007), Robert Darnton (1992, 2010) among others that write about social and economic issues related to the literary support, its implications in the composition and maintenance of the literary canon. Michel Foucault (1992, 2008) was used as the subsidies to reflect on the Power, basic element in the formation of the canon.
