This article is based on the analyses of the novel by João Gilberto Noll Hotel Atlântico (2004). The article emphasizes the prosaic and/or carnavalesque aspects of the novel. Such analysis is based on the theoretical support of Mikhail Bakhtin in regard to the novelistic voice (prosaic) and the prosaic themes in the broad sense of the term, which is the prosaic as a worldview, in opposition to any ideal conception of reality. Bakhtin’s ideas contributed to the analysis with his theories about Carnival and its dethroning power, ideas present in his book about Rabelais and other texts. Another contribution from Bakhtin refers to the theorization about the relation author-creator and his hero, which are ideas present in his theory about novels and other essays.
