The article focuses on the study of three short stories by the angolan writer José Eduardo Agualusa (1960-): Se nada mais der certo leia Clarice, Catálogo de sombras and Livre-arbítrio, which are part of his book Manual prático de levitação (2005). We will seek to highlight the presence of the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) and his heteronyms, Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis and Ãlvaro de Campos in the three short stories mentioned, guided by Agualusa’s own considerations, trying to establish, through his books, a regular dialogue between African, Brazilian and Portuguese literature, according to his stance of spreading culture and in particular the African literature to the world, diluting boundaries that can separate the literature of Portuguese-speaking. In the analyzes of the selected texts, we employ as theoretical support the writings by Julia Kristeva (1974), Leyla Perrone-Moisés (1990), Tiphaine Samoyault (2008) and Laurent Jenny (1979) .
