"Pensando nas tantas histórias de professores guardadas no fundo das gavetas ou nos HDs dos computadores que a Editora Oficina Raquel organizou o concurso "Professores na Escrita".

Dentre todos os recebidos, os que se encontram nesta antologia destacaram-se por trazer em seu cerne tanto o necessário fator emocional que tanto marca a vida cotidiana dos professores como uma marcante qualidade literária intrínseca."
Este livro problematiza os efeitos do diálogo entre a linguagem literária das crônicas de Lima Barreto (1881 – 1922) e a experiência urbana no Rio de Janeiro durante o início dos 1900. A obra considera a reelaboração que o escritor carioca realiza de recursos do jornalismo e o manejo das técnicas de imagem como formas que assumiram o diálogo entre a técnica literária do autor e a realidade das grandes cidades no início do século XX. Trata-se de uma prosa ensaística que, ao problematizar a cidade e as diversas alterações vividas na percepção, defende que a crônica de Lima Barreto se abriu a novos padrões de experiência. Em especial, a análise aprofunda de maneira complementar a relação entre a literatura do cronista e os novos padrões perceptivos das grandes cidades modernas.

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
