Em 2008, cursando o último ano de jornalismo na Universidade Federal do Mato Grosso do Sul, me preparava para o temível Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso. Só sabia que abordaria algum assunto ligado ao Pantanal do MS. O destino tratou de me apresentar ao livro-reportagem O Gosto da Guerra , de José Hamilton Ribeiro.

Em meio a toda aquela poeira branca do Pantanal, comecei minha jornada. Não sei se era repórter que sabia cavalgar, ou se era peão que sabia escrever.

• Winner of the 1997 Drue Heinz Literature Prize This collection is filled with narrative and character grounded in the meaning and value the earth gives to human existence. In one story, a woman sleeps with the village priest, trying to gain back the land the church took from her family; in another, relatives in the Azores fight over a plot of land owned by their expatriate American cousin.

Dan’s Den is a memoir that weaves the childhood portion of Daniel’s life. He was born in the second last decade of the twentieth century in Madras city and spent most of his life living his little dreams even if it was to take some adverse risks. A daringly stupid decision taken by him at ten could have torn his life apart, but the good Lord has been so loving and caring to him thus bringing him this far. The memoir takes you through his life journey in the boarding school located in central Madras which is meant for the Anglo-Indian boys. The memoir elucidates how spending one’s childhood in the midst of innovative, creative, passionate, and dedicated educators can help the child for lifetime. The simple usage of language is to portray the honest narration of all the experiences among the boarders and day scholars in St. Bede’s Anglo-Indian Higher Secondary School. The memoir is a treat for the Bedeans of all times and for all those who love their schools, their childhood, and their loved ones. by Daniel Joseph (@ St. Bede’s from 1992 – 99)
