Waldomiro Freitas Autran Dourado (1926 – September 30, 2012) was a Brazilian novelist.[1]

Dourado was born in Patos de Minas, state of Minas Gerais. Going against current trends in Brazilian literature, Dourado's works display much concern with literary form, with many obscure words and expressions. Minas Gerais is the setting for most of Dourado's books, resembling the early to mid-20th century regionalist trend in Brazilian literature. Most literary critics consider Dourado's work to have similarities to Baroque literature.

In 1982, Dourado won the Jabuti Prize.

In 2000, Dourado won the Camões Prize, the most important literary prize in the Portuguese language.

In 2001, Brazilian filmmaker Suzana Amaral released the film Uma Vida em Segredo. It was based on the novel of same title by Autran Dourado.

Dourado died of stomach bleeding on September 30, 2012, in Rio de Janeiro. He was 86 years old.[2]
