Abstract
A series of features in common allow us to think about certain areas of the works developed by the American Susan Sontag, the Argentinian-Colombian Marta Traba and the Brazilian Leyla Perrone-Moisés. Some of these features are their contemporaneity, their dedication to the essayist genre, that the sixties were an important period within their respective bibliographies and that in the books published by them in that decade there is a shared concern to reflect on the category of style. This article proposes a reflection, compared and contrastive, about the points of contact and difference that Susan Sontag presented in this notion in her essay “On style” (included in her famous book Against Interpretation and Other Essays, 1966 ), Marta Traba in her important text The Four Cardinal Monsters (1965) and Leyla Perrone-Moisés in the texts of her first book O nôvo romance francês (1966) and also in writings adjacent to that publication.
