Blood-Drenched Beard
Blood-Drenched Beard is the gripping, visceral English-language debut from Daniel Galera. His father shoots himself, and all he's left with is the old cattle dog and a vague desire for explanation. He loves swimming so he drifts south to Garopaba, a quiet little town on the Brazilian coast, where his grandfather disappeared in mysterious, possibly brutal, circumstances decades before. There, in the midst of romantic flings and occasional trips, he comes to discover more than he could ever have imagined - not just about his grandfather, but also about himself. Praise for Daniel Galera: 'Outstandingly powerful'- Estado de Sao Paulo 'The writer who has evolved more than any other of his generation'- NoMinimo Daniel Galera was born in Sao Paulo in 1979. He co-founded the influential publishing house Livros do Mal, and has translated David Foster Wallace, Zadie Smith and Irvine Welsh into Brazilian Portuguese. He has published a collection of short stories and three novels, as well as an acclaimed graphic novel (with Rafael Coutinho).
132resenhas - 2012
Este livro foi o segundo que reuniu resenhas de livros, a partir deste ano, comecei a reunir em ordem cronológica as resenhas dos livros que li ao longo do ano indicado. A ideia havia surgido há muitos anos, quando eu havia pensado na reunião que dei o nome de 100 Resenhas que ficou no prelo por muitos anos. Neste exemplar encontramos análises das minhas relações com os livros lidos e as circunstâncias em que eles cruzaram o meu caminho, não necessariamente detalhes e aspectos que tragam a público informações sobre o enredo dos mesmos. Um passeio pelas influências literárias que a mente deste autor teve naquele seu tempo de leitura.
What are the Blind Men Dreaming?
"This is much more than a survival story. It is the story of how the scars of a woman can be and are passed through generations. It is about being a woman, a mother, and a daughter."—Gabriela Almeida, Continente "An infinite work."—O Estadão de São Paulo A groundbreaking use of storytelling to bear witness to the Holocaust features three generations of women's own voices—Liwia's diary written upon liberation from Auschwitz; daughter Noemi Jaffe exploring the power of memory, survival, and bearing witness; and granddaughter Leda, Noemi's daughter, on the significance of the Holocaust and Jewish identity seventy years after the war.
받아쓰기 - 내가 머문 아이오와 일기
김유진 작가의 에세이 『받아쓰기』는 그 부제 "내가 머문 아이오와 일기"에서 짐작할 수 있듯 아이오와에서 머문 3개월 동안의 일상을 매일같이 일기로 기록한 에세이다. 2015년 8월 22일부터 11월 11일까지, 33개국에서 온 34명의 시인, 소설가, 번역가와 함께 문학으로 책으로 어울렸던 기록의 결과물이다. "일기"라는 장르의 특성상, 그보다 김유진 작가의 기질적 특성상, 『받아쓰기』는 그 어떤 과장된 감정적 흐름도 없고 과대하게 포장된 일상도 없고 다만 "있음"의 "있음"을 정확하게 적어감으로써 읽는 우리들로 하여금 보다 자유롭게 저만의 그림을 그리도록 유도한다. 때문에 한 페이지 한 페이지 읽어나가는 맛이 담백하면서도 묘하게 슴슴한데, 조미료와 같은 그 어떤 가공물이 첨가되지 않았다는 확신 앞에서 그 뒷맛이 무척이나 건강하게 남는다.
Twenty After Midnight
A dark and masterful portrait of a generation in crisis, from one of the most exciting young voices in international literature The world had been theirs in the late 90s: they were the young provocateurs behind a countercultural scene, digital bohemians creating a new future.

Now in their thirties, Aurora, Antero, and Emiliano have succumbed to the pressures of adulthood, the exigencies of carving out a life in a country that is fraying at the se...
The War of Gods
In the 1960s liberation theology addressed itself to the problems of a continent racked by poverty and oppression. Comprising a network of localized communities and pastoral organizations, it soon became something much more than a doctrinal current. Liberationist Christianity defined itself in a multitude of social struggles, particularly in Brazil and Central America.
As perguntas
O novo romance de uma das vozes mais originais da ficção nacional contemporânea. Alina enxerga sombras e vultos desde criança. Doutoranda em história das religiões, especializada em tradições ocultistas e aferrada à racionalidade que tudo ilumina, ela se acostumou a considerar as aparições como simples vestígios de sonhos interrompidos. Certo dia, um telefonema da delegacia desarruma sua rotina de tédio programado. A polícia suspeita de que uma seita vem causando uma onda de surtos psicóticos em São Paulo. A única pista disponível é um símbolo geométrico desenhado por uma das vítimas. Intrigada e ansiosa para fugir da rotina, Alina decide investigar por conta própria um mistério que a fará questionar os limites entre razão e religião, cultura e crença. Em As perguntas, Antonio Xerxenesky costura o tédio da vida cotidiana com o desconforto do horror em um livro repleto de referências ao universo dos filmes, da música e do ocultismo.

Spanning subjects ranging from God, prophecy, miracles, revelation, and evil, to politics, messianism, reason in religion, and the therapeutic role of doubt, Maimonides and the Book That Chan...

José Federico Burgos is a failed painter turned forger trapped in surreal, an architectural masterpiece hidden behind high walls, an impish vagabond, and some very resourceful, very intimidating twins—Forgery pays homage to greats like Juan Rulfo and Luis Barragán, traversing late 20th Century Guadalajara with the exuberance and eccentricity of an 18th Century picaresque.
