This article analyzes the book Relatos de um corvo sedutor, a fable written by Pericles Prade. It is our intent to show that the speech made by the bird becomes the only reality. With all its incongruity, with all its displacements, with all its implications, it refers to archaic and modern myths, in order to create a world that works according to its own laws and opposes the Cartesian logic. The crow, a contradictory bird gathering positive and negative qualities, whether it is believed to be a precursor of death or an enunciator of new times, will be symbolically seen here as a demiurge, a creator of worlds to be, thus equating with poets and artists in general.
