Este livro conta a história de vários inícios. Primeiro, o início da Oficina de Criação Literária da PUCRS, que completa anos em – a mais longeva em funcionamento no país. O surgimento da Oficina está retratado num saboroso artigo de Luís Roberto Amabile e num instigante perfil escrito por Fred Linardi sobre Luiz Antonio de Assis Brasil. Ministrada desde a primeira edição por Assis Brasil, a Oficina exerce papel importante em nosso sistema literário, revelando, a cada ano, novos escritores. Pensando nisso, este livro também reúne contos publicados, quase todos, em antologias da Oficina. E assim, como ressalta Gabriela Richinitti na introdução a esta "antologia das antologias", aqui se encontram os inícios de carreira de vários nomes fundamentais da literatura brasileira contemporânea.
Consagradas ao redor do mundo, oficinas de criação literária promovem o conhecimento da literatura, geram estímulo para o ato de escrever e proporcionam o domínio de técnicas narrativas e poéticas aos participantes. Desse modo, fomentam o surgimento de novas vozes, contribuindo para a difusão no sistema literário de uma bem-vinda diversidade de estilos e autores. E como se ministra uma oficina de sucesso? Neste livro, com abordagem inédita no Brasil, renomados professores de Escrita Criativa narram suas experiências como participantes e ministrantes de oficinas.
Esta obra aborda como o "arriscar" e o "enfrentar abismos" parecem não fazer parte do cotidiano das escolas do ensino básico e superior, tal afirmação é feita por observar o engessamento das práticas de escrita desenvolvidas nesse locus, um contexto que está em pauta permanente por pesquisadores da leitura e da escrita, tanto no âmbito dos estudos linguísticos como no dos estudos literários. Em vista disso, o objetivo desta obra é promover, a discussão da inserção da Escrita Criativa como componente curricular é pertinente e oportuna, pois é nesse exercício de escrita que os voos com a linguagem produzem o fictício, acionando o imaginário, como propõe Wolfgang Iser.

‘I often dreamed about the moment of the fall, a silence that lasted a second, possibly two, a room full of sixty people and no one making a sound, as if everyone were waiting for my classmate to cry out ... but he lay on the ground with his eyes closed’ A schoolboy prank goes horribly wrong, and a thirteen-year-old boy is left injured. Years later, one of the classmates relives the episode as he tries to come to terms with his demons. Diary of the Fall is the story of three generations: a man examining the mistakes of his past, and his struggle for forgiveness; a father with Alzheimer’s, for whom recording every memory has become an obsession; and a grandfather who survived Auschwitz, filling notebook after notebook with the false memories of someone desperate to forget. Beautiful and brave, Michel Laub’s novel asks the most basic – and yet most complex – questions about history and identity, exploring what stories we choose to tell about ourselves and how we become the people we are. Michel Laub's next book, A Poison Apple, will be published on 6th July 2017.
Blood-Drenched Beard is the gripping, visceral English-language debut from Daniel Galera. His father shoots himself, and all he's left with is the old cattle dog and a vague desire for explanation. He loves swimming so he drifts south to Garopaba, a quiet little town on the Brazilian coast, where his grandfather disappeared in mysterious, possibly brutal, circumstances decades before. There, in the midst of romantic flings and occasional trips, he comes to discover more than he could ever have imagined - not just about his grandfather, but also about himself. Praise for Daniel Galera: 'Outstandingly powerful'- Estado de Sao Paulo 'The writer who has evolved more than any other of his generation'- NoMinimo Daniel Galera was born in Sao Paulo in 1979. He co-founded the influential publishing house Livros do Mal, and has translated David Foster Wallace, Zadie Smith and Irvine Welsh into Brazilian Portuguese. He has published a collection of short stories and three novels, as well as an acclaimed graphic novel (with Rafael Coutinho).
