Cuíca de Santo Amaro, controvérsia no cordel
Cuíca de Santo Amaro, em seus folhetos escritos durante mais de trinta anos, documentou da maneira mais completa a vida cotidiana baiana: a carestia do povo, os costumes, os usos e a moral vigentes na cidade de Salvador, os crimes, os desastres e, talvez mais importante, os pequenos casos escabrosos da vida particular baiana.“ Sobre a literatura de cordel ” A literatura popular em verso passou por diversas fases de incompreensão e vicissitudes no passado. Ao contrário de outros países, como o México e a Argentina, onde esse tipo de produção literária é normalmente aceita e incluída nos estudos oficiais de literatura.Apesar da maciça bibliografia crítica e da vasta produção de folhetos (mais de 30 mil folhetos de 2 mil autores classificados), a literatura de cordel? cujo início remonta ao fim do século XIX? continua ainda em boa parte desconhecida do grande público, principalmente por causa da distribuição efêmera dos folhetos.
FIFTY YEARS OF RESEARCH ON Brazil
This book is a photographic journey of fifty years of research on Brazil and its folk-popular poetry, the "literatura de cordel." The photos taken by the author over these fifty years are divided into three parts: 1. The poets and the printers of "cordel" 2.The intellectuals, informants and friends associated with the research and 3. The fairs, markets and scenes of folklore related to the research.

The book is a companion book to the complete story of the story-poems and their authors seen in his recent "Portrait of Brazil in the Twentieth Century - the Universe of the 'Literatura de Cordel'".
The Carnivalesque Defunto
The Carnivalesque Defunto explores the representations of death and the dead in Brazil’s collective and literary imagination. The recurring stereotype of Brazil as the land of samba, soccer, and sandy beaches overlooks a more complex cultural heritage in which, since colonial times, a relationship of proximity and reciprocity has been cultivated between the living and the dead. Robert H. Moser details the emergence of a prominent motif in modern Brazilian literature, namely the carnivalesque defunto (the dead) that, in the form of a protagonist or narrator, returns to beseech, instruct, chastise, or even seduce the living.

Adventures of a "Gringo" Researcher in Brazil in the 1960's
Adventures of a "Gringo" Researcher in Brazil in the 1960s or In Search of Cordel is an entertaining and informative account of Professor Curran's first foray in Brazil. In this book he tells two stories: the research to collect cordel and, perhaps more importantly, the travel and the adventures of the year in Brazil. The two are inseparable and complement each other. Chapters include Recife and the Northeast, Travels to the interior of the Northeast, research in Brazil's colonial capital of Salvador da Bahia, research and tourism in Rio de Janeiro, trips to the interior of Rio, including Ouro Preto, Congonhas do Campo, and a memorable trip on a wood-burning stern wheeler on the Sao Francisco River in Minas Gerais and Bahia, and finally, research in the Amazon Basin, including both Belem do Para and Manaus. The account is not in academic language but in a colloquial, conversational style. Curran writes as one sitting down with the reader and telling tales of his travels, and perhaps with the author and reader enjoying a caipirinha, or a Brazilian draft beer choppe as they talk.
