 Waldomiro Freitas Autran Dourado was born in the city of Patos de Minas in the state of Minas Gerais. As against the pattern of literature in the country, Autran Dourado’s works show much concern with the form of literature with the use of much more hard words and expressions. The setting of most of the works he did is the state of Minas Gerais, which resemble the early part of the 20th century and that of the mid-20th century regionalist trend in the literature of the country. Most critics in the country see his work to have some analogous nature to the Baroque literature.
In the year 1981¸ Autran Dourado was the winner of the Goethe Prize. He was also the winner of the most crucial literary prize in the Portuguese Sprachraum, called Camões Prize in the year 2000.
Autran Dourado died of stomach bleeding on the 30th September 2012 in the city of Rio de Janeiro at the age of 86.
