Carolina Maria de Jesus grew up in the favelas of Brazil, while living in a wooden shack with her three children she kept a diary of her life. A newspaper asked to publish it, the response was so overwhelming that it became the bestselling Brazilian book in history.
I'm Going to Have a Little House
"Never before published in English, Carolina's second diary, written in 1960-61, describes her life in the first year after the sudden (and, as it turned out, temporary) fame of Quarto de despejo (see HLAS 25:4741). Translated faithfully into English, evokes the often awkward style adopted by Carolina. Excellent afterword and notes"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
