“Antero, vinte anos depois” revela a vida e a obra de um dos expoentes da imprensa piauiense no século XX. Um dos fundadores do Sindicato dos Jornalistas de Parnaíba e também da Academia Parnaibana de Letras, Antero Cardoso Filho (1922-2000) fundou o jornal O Paladino, periódico de cunho literário. Expressivo articulista no meio jornalístico e intelectual parnaibano, escreveu ao célebre jornalista judeu Samuel Wainer, em 1953, apoiando-o. Crítico, Antero faz breves ponderações sobre o jornalismo e entidades culturais do seu tempo, além de descrever, com mão de mestre, os fatos marcantes que fundamentaram sua produção, legando escritos os mais importantes do ponto de vista jornalístico, histórico e literário. Passados vinte anos de sua morte, este volume, munido da mais completa documentação já reunida, apresenta o Antero jornalista, historiógrafo, ensaísta, cronista e, sobretudo, o homem, o pai, o avô e o amigo.
