In this research, we have studied the world in the novel Avalovara (1973), written by the Brazilian writer Osman Lins. In order to do so, we have replaced the concept of space from topoanalytical studies, which is limited to a Cartesian view, to the concept of worldliness which was developed by Heidegger. Such concept indicates the idea of a cyclical whole structured by the being‘s everyday means of meetings and practices in the world. Considering that the literary narrative is words made and it do not represent or reproduce reality, we have adopted Foucault‘s heterotopia concept as an indicator of "spaces" that both represent and contradict reality. Such concept is relevant for the study of places in narrative and it is grounded in reality‘s shades and symbolism. As the "word" is a matter crafted by the writer in order to structure a world, we base its analysis on the similarity idea, also Foucault‘s, which argues that each work of Art is the thing represented increased by small differences. So, it is impossible to link a work of art to a source. Therefore, we arrive at a fictional world that is, contradicts and reverses reality spaces through the increase of small differences. Such world is based on meetings modes and practices experienced by the writer. S/he uses narrative to structure a world in which things and beings remain connected by strength and repulsion lines through interpretation. The narrative text, which is built on square and spiral, establishes a conversation with the reader, whose interpretation is able to add small differences in novelistic world. So, the world in Avalovara is a permanent construction by interaction in four dimensions: 1) meeting modes and uses experienced by the writer; 2) the writer‘s understanding / interpretation, which acts on number one above; 3) narrative worldliness, which unveils and alights the writer‘s circumvision; 4) the reader‘s understanding / interpretation, which acts on the basis of all three aspects previously mentioned. Thus, this research has three chapters: the first one seeks to understand Osman Lins‘ hermeneutic view and also his word concept. The second one develops worldliness, heterotopia and similarity concepts, while the third one analyzes the world in Avalovara shared into three regions composed by countless locations and environments. Such hermeneutic quadridimensionality leads us to the idea that the insubordinate fictional world is a simultaneous product of all dimensions.
