In this book, the history of the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform is told by one of its main protagonists. In the early 1980s, there were about 80 thousand people admitted to psychiatric hospitals in Brazil, with average lengths of hospital stay of approximately 25 years.

Em A escritura da presença, Fernando Gabeira surge como um escritor audiovisual: som e imagem são seu alfabeto e sua gramática. Seu programa homônimo, iniciado em setembro de 2013 na Globo News, dedica-se a temas variados, muitas vezes inesperados. Este livro mescla teoria, reflexão e mergulho na escritura de Fernando Gabeira em todas as páginas, à luz das teorias do semiólogo francês Roland Barthes. Apesar de resultar de uma pesquisa de doutorado, não há divisões convencionais entre revisão de literatura, procedimentos metodológicos, exposição, análise do tema e a dádiva da entrevista em que as duas presenças – o autor e Gabeira – interagem. A busca do olhar sensível, do texto sensível e sensibilizador é uma marca de Bruno Chiarioni. Marca que também o aproxima do Gabeira repórter, autor de reportagens surpreendentes.
