Female homosexuality. Lygia Fagundes Telles. Natalia Borges Polesso. This paper intends a reading of four short stories whose theme is the female homosexualities, “Amora”, “As tias”, “Flor, flores, ferro retorcido”, from the book Amora (2015), by Natalia Borges Polesso and “Uma branca sombra pálida”, from the book A noite escura e mais eu (2009), by Lygia Fagundes Telles, from the perspective of the “epistemology of the closet”, proposed by Eve Sedgwick (2007), and its impact on the life of who, deliberately or not, insurges against the cloister-closet. In all these stories, the characters deal with the insults and the violences, perpetrated by society because of them being who they are; hence, nobody escapes the social eye when coming out, especially when ruled by the strict cis-hetero “law”. Polesso and Telles’ work offer the reader a vision of the modus vivendi of these women and from these fictions a reflection on the factual events within empirical society is possible. O presente trabalho pretende uma leitura de quatro contos, cujo tema trata das homossexualidades femininas, “Amora”, “As tias”, “Flor flores, ferro retorcido”, do livro Amora (2015), de Natalia Borges Polesso, e “Uma branca sombra pálida”, do livro A noite escura e mais eu (2009), de Lygia Fagundes Telles, a partir do conceito “epistemologia do armário”, proposto por Eve Sedgwick (2007), e seu impacto na vida de quem, deliberadamente ou não, se insurge contra o claustro-armário. Em todos os contos, as personagens lidam com as injúrias e as violências, perpetradas pela sociedade, pelo fato de serem quem são; portanto, ninguém, ao sair do armário, passa incólume aos olhos sociais, sobretudo, aqueles pautados pela estrita “lei” cis-hétero. As obras de Polesso e Telles oferecem ao leitor uma visão do modus vivendi dessas mulheres e a partir destas ficções é possível uma reflexão sobre os eventos factuais no interior da sociedade empírica.
