20 reviewsSurreal & gripping stories about desire, tyranny, fear, & love, from one of Brazil’s greatest queer writers, whose work is appearing in English for the first time.
In 18 gripping & daring stories filled with tension & intimacy, Caio Fernando Abreu navigates a Brazil transformed by the AIDS epidemic & stifling military dictatorship of the 80s.
Tenderly suspended between fear & longing, Abreu’s characters grasp for connection:
A man speckled with Carnival glitter crosses a crowded dance floor and seeks the warmth & beauty of another body.
A budding office friendship between two young men turns into a surprising love, “a strange & secret harmony." One man desires another but fears a clumsy word or gesture might tear their plot to pieces.
After so many precarious offerings-a salvaged cigarette, a knock on the door from withing the downpour of a dream, or a tight-lipped smile-Abreu’s schemes explode and implode.
Junkies, failed revolutionaries, poets, & conflicted artists face threats at every turn. But, inwardly ferocious & secretly resilient, they heal.
For Caio Fernando Abreu there is beauty on the horizon, mingled with luminous memory and decay.
Translated by Bruna Dantas Lobato, currently an Iowa Arts Fellow & MFA candidate in Literary Translation at the University of Iowa.
