AND THEY CALL ME MAD (Depois a louca sou eu) Tati Bernardi Companhia das Letras, 2016 144 pages

With humour and irreverence, Tati Bernardi recollects stories of

panic, love and hard-core prescription drugs.

At first sight this book has all the clichés of hysterical verbosity,

daring to reveal what it is like to be a woman, “plagued by yeast

infections and empty promises”. Self-compassion and self-criticism

alternate at a dizzying pace, with comic exaggeration revealing the

flip side of the genders and of the feminist, or post-feminist writing,

in the form of an unprecedented scatological study, composed of

bouts of cystitis and constipation. This author is not a misogynist,

though – the focus of her misanthropy is wide-ranging – and she

proves capable of the most radical narrative intensity, like a soap opera scriptwriter who is

a secret disciple of, let’s say, Kierkegaard.

She felt like an overly sensitive child. And finally discovered the wonders of the first Rivotril

tablet, “fine rain that fell on a bed of fresh basil”. Near the book’s denouement, when no

antidepressants or therapy sessions will make any difference, literature appears to be a

remedy for the soul, capable of curing the authentic writer and the sincere reader. In a

disturbing yet comforting observation, “nobody is well”.

Otavio Frias Filho

Tati Bernardi was born in 1979 in the city of São Paulo. She has a degree in Advertising and Marketing and studied literature as a post-graduate. She is a writer and columnist for the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo, writes for the Globo media group and is a screenwriter for the cinema.

Selected titles: Meu passado me condena (Paralela, 2016) The movies Meu passado me condena 1 and 2 drew in more than 6 milion viewers.




MARACANAZO AND OTHER STORIES (Maracanazo e outras histórias) Arthur Dapieve Alfaguara, 2015 160 pages

Football, rock, classical music. The sea of Copacabana and the city of

Rio de Janeiro. In these five stories, Arthur Dapieve weaves together

fact and fiction to create stories with different chronological and

geographical settings, but which collectively display considerable

narrative cohesion, whether in terms of their contemporaneity or

their impact. In “Bad times”, the first story in the collection, two boys

are surfing on the rough sea of Copacabana, alone, under low cloud,

unaware that they are about to experience an unexpected event.

In “Fragment of the landscape” and “Winter, 1968”, Dapieve explores

the world of music, but at two very different times: the first story

revolves around a performance of Mahler’s Ninth Symphony in Vienna, just before the

outbreak of the Second World War. The second is set during a Pink Floyd rehearsal in

London, a key moment in the history of rock music. “Block”, the fourth story in this

collection, describes the absurdity of being caught up in a gridlock in the streets of Rio.

“Maracanazo”, the story that brings the volume to a close, is a surprising tale that begins

with the football match that eliminated the Spanish national team from the 2014 World Cup

and then focuses on two characters, a Spanish man and a Chilean woman, from very

different backgrounds, rivals, who in the course of the night will end up revealing their real

intentions.

Arthur Dapieve was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1963. He graduated in journalism from the

PUC-Rio, the university where he currently teaches. He is also a cultural editor and reporter.

Translation available in French.

THE ART OF SETTING BOUNDARIES: How to change the behaviour of children and teenagers (A arte de dar limites: como mudar atitudes de crianças e adolescentes) Luiz Hanns Paralela/Companhia das Letras, 2015 472 pages

Many of the new generation of children and teenagers have difficulty

in accepting the existence of personal and collective boundaries. As

the real-life cases discussed in this book illustrate, parents face the

permanent challenge of setting limits and preparing their children

for life. Drawing on examples and international research, the

psychologist Luiz Hanns identifies the reasons for this difficulty and

proposes an innovative way of raising children: planned parenting.

Unlike traditional corrective parenting, planned parenting –

presented in this book via real case studies and exercises for parents

and children to practice at home – introduces a wider system of boundaries and stimuli that

can lead to major changes in behaviour. It anticipates and, when necessary, corrects

problems, teaching children and teenagers how to deal with life. A transformative way of

parenting that is aimed not only at children, but also at their parents.

Luiz Hanns has a degree in psychology and business administration. He has a masters and

a doctorate in psychology and has worked as a couples’ counsellor for over twenty years.

DAD IS COOL (O papai é pop) Marcos Piangers Belas Letras, 2015 112 pages

So, you and your partner are expecting. You know you need to buy

a bigger house. You need more room for the child. You need more

than a one-bedroom apartment. You must have a new crib – you

can’t use the one your neighbor said you could borrow. And you

know you gotta replace your car. That car isn’t comfortable for a

family. That car isn’t safe for your child. It must have six airbags at

least. It must come with an AC straight from the manufacturer.

Having been a father at a young age, the comedy writer Marcos

Piangers found out these things don't really matter. Having a large

apartment doesn’t really matter, because children like sleeping on

their parents’ bed. Having a large car doesn’t really matter, because children like riding

bikes. Going to the best daycare doesn’t really matter, if you’re the last one picking up your

child. Having the most expensive toys and videogames doesn’t really matter. Children

actually have more fun balancing on the curb or skipping the cracks on the sidewalk. Tossing

your kid up in the air – that’s the best pastime in the world for little ones. The thing is, what

really matters, as the funny and moving texts from Dad is Cool show us, is to be with your

kids not thinking of something else. Really being with them.

OPISANIE ŚWIATA Veronica Stigger Cosac Naify, 2013 160 pages

On the eve of World War II, Opalka, a Polish man of around 60,

receives a letter at his home whereby he discovers he has a son in

Brazil. In serious condition at a hospital in the Amazon, he asks to

meet the father he's heard so much about, but has never seen.

Enclosed is a steamship ticket for his passage. Opalka decides to

meet his son and revisit the country where he'd traveled as a young

man decades ago, but to which had never returned.

Waiting at the Warsaw train station, Opalka meets Bopp, a

flamboyant Brazilian traveler and polyglot who, upon learning the

reason for this circumspect gentleman's journey, decides to accompany him. Bopp presents

him with a kind of talisman for the trip, a Latin America travel guidebook, whose often

surprising, and always amusing, advice is transcribed throughout the text.

On the train that takes them to their European port of departure, then on the ship that will

cross the ocean toward the Amazon rainforest, these two unlikely travel companions

encounter a cast of characters, such as Dona Oliva and her nieces, Mr. and Mrs. Andrade,

Curto Chivito from Uruguay and his German companion, Hans, Priscila the dancer and a

cantankerous Russian.

In addition to passages from the guidebook, interspersed with the chapters are photos of

Poland, postcards, letters, diary entries, period advertisements and colorful news reports.

When they reach the Amazon, before parting ways, Bopp gives Opalka a notebook for him

to write his “description of the word” (Opisanie świata, in Polish): “Here,” said Bopp,

handing him a black notebook. “It’s a present. For taking notes. For you to write down what

happened. To help you get over it. And to not forget. We write to not forget. Or to pretend

we didn’t forget.”

Opisanie świata is the Polish title of Il Milione, Marco Polo's travelogue (known as The

Travels of Marco Polo in English). In this novel, the winner of several awards, Veronica

Stigger invites the reader to follow Opalka on a fascinating journey between two rapidly

disappearing worlds, departing Europe on the brink of World War II, and arriving in the

Amazon, whose decline and devastation are well underway.

Opisanie świata is a powerful allegory of literature, casting a final glance at what will be lost,

at what will soon exist only in the words of artists and poets. It is no coincidence that

Veronica Stigger's novel is also a brilliant stylistic exercise, playing with the narratives of a

number of authors, both Brazilian and European from the turn of the 20th century, and

evoking a dreamworld similar to those found in films by Federico Fellini, Wes Anderson or

Miguel Gomes.




Veronica Stigger was born in Porto Alegre in 1973, and has lived in São Paulo since 2001.

She is a writer, an art critic and a university professor.

THE GREEN BALL (Antes do baile verde) Lygia Fagundes Telles Companhia das Letras, 2009 208 pages Lygia Fagundes Telles was nominated by the União dos Escritores Brasileiros (Brazilian

Writers’ Union) as a candidate for the Nobel Prize

Gazing at an old tapestry for sale in an antique shop, a man becomes

so fascinated that he plunges into the scene that it depicts. One night

during carnival, two young women, a housewife and her maid, add

the finishing touches to a fancy dress costume while a man is on his

deathbed in the room next door. A young man invites his ex-girlfriend

on a date in a deserted cemetery and the two of them go inside a

tomb. A little boy goes to the cinema with his mother and unwittingly

witnesses a real scene of adultery.

The stories in The Green Ball reveal and delve into an extremely

varied range of human experiences, and the encounters, near misses and metamorphoses

that they entail. Lygia Fagundes Telles, the writer of this mystery, reminds us of the likes of

Edgar Allan Poe in her exploration of the fascinating realm of the fantastic.

Skilfully handling ellipses and changes in points of view, the author generally leaves the

illuminating revelations, and the unexpected and mind-boggling twist in the tale for the very

end of the story. The Green Ball proves Telles’ immense talent for revealing in words her

subtle humour and poetic talent.

Published in 1970, the book was revised and re-published in Brazil by Companhia das Letras

in 2009.

Lygia Fagundes Telles was born and lives in São Paulo. She studied law and physical

education before devoting herself entirely to literature. Critically acclaimed as one of the

most important Brazilian writers, her body of work comprises 18 short story anthologies

and four novels, having sold three million copies. She has been translated to more than

eleven countries and has had works adapted into movies, TV and theater.

Lygia Fagundes Telles became a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters in 1985, and

in 2005 was awarded the Camões Prize, the most important prize for literature in the

Portuguese language.




“Above all, Lygia Fagundes Telles has been able to go beyond the autobiographical sphere that

the work of so many modern short story writers desperately clings to. She thus possesses the

first quality demanded of a writer of fiction, namely she knows how to put herself in other

people’s skin. This is a further ambiguity of the short story, which she takes command of with

the same authority as Machado de Assis or Joaquim Paço D’Arcos.”

Wilson Martins

“The brilliance of Lygia’s text lies in the unity, density and extraordinary dignity that it gives

to the Portuguese language, even when dealing with sordid, perverse or violent situations and

themes. Reading the work of Lygia Fagundes Telles, for those who are given to such cultured

pursuits, entails the pleasurable discovery of beauty, sonority and expressivity.”

Caio Fernando Abreu

“However, a word of caution. The short stories feature oppressed, frequently impetuous, and

sometimes criminal individuals. Nothing is explained: a few objects, a few details are enough

to set the tone. A messy dressing table, a string of pearls curled up in a husband’s pocket, and

the characters are plunged into self-doubt, anger, rage and jealousy. Caught up in this

passionate haze, readers delight in abandoning themselves to their thirst for explanations and

discoveries.”

Jean Soublin, L’Express

“With exceptional energy and subtlety the author successfully conveys diversity and contrasts

by using an extremely flexible language, one that adapts to suit all the various mutations,

whether to just dryly hint at them or to engage and enthrall the reader.”

Michel Nuridsany, Le Figaro, about Seminar on the Extermination of Rats

“A lively, flexible, impressionistic prose style, which invites the reader to share the narrator’s

point of view. A host of visual effects and emotional storylines. And so many (dozens, dozens)

of wonderful stories that Katherine Mansfield would have been proud to put her name to.”

LIES WOMEN TELL (Mentiras que as mulheres contam) Luis Fernando Verissimo Objetiva, 2015 184 pages

— Sweetheart, you promised the party would be over by 2.

— And it did, daddy.

—Well, yes, but not in the afternoon!

It all starts with your mum. “Here comes the plane”, she says, flying

that spoon into your mouth. It is the inaugural lie, one that will have

many incarnations throughout your life.

Here you will find the masters of dissimulation. There is the woman

who made up a lover just to make her husband jealous, the lady who

cheats on herself through a string of plastic surgeries and the young

woman who lies about her age – upwards! – hoping to hear she looks really young. There is

drama, comedies and tragicomedies – and even outright tragedies. All of them, though,

infused with Verissimo’s irresistible wit.

Luis Fernando Verissimo was born in 1936, in the southern city of Porto Alegre, where he

still lives. He is one of Brazil’s most successful writers. More than best-sellers (he has sold

over 5 million copies), his works are Brazilian classics that deal with contemporary

everyday lives. To read Verissimo is to find coherence in paradoxes and to witness the

subtlety of human behaviour at its most poetic or most pathetic, sometimes sweet,

sometimes dramatic.

LIES MEN TELL (Mentiras que os homens contam) Luis Fernando Verissimo Objetiva, 2000 176 pages

— Have you read my book?

— I did. It’s great!

Not quite. Men don’t lie. They might make up stories to protect

women. Seriously. It all starts with your mother, it’s a scientific fact.

Remember that day you woke up with a strange chest pain and told

your mum you couldn’t go to school? You didn’t mention that

forgotten homework. What you said was that you were very ill and

your days were numbered. You made her happy. Or isn’t taking care

of you the happiest she’ll ever be?

In this book, Luis Fernando Verissimo’s brilliant prose decodes the circumstances in which

such lies are almost truths. Who has never been stopped on the street by a happy chap

asking “Remember me?”. And who has never, against anyone’s better judgement, answered

“Sure!”, while desperately trying to buy some time and some more information to place an

identity on that perfect stranger. Lies are justified, and sometimes inevitable, in social

interactions. Small lies, of course. The ones that go subtly through the day without wreaking

any big or irreversible damage.

Lies Men Tell doesn’t judge, it only acknowledges, men don’t lie. And if they do, it’s because

they need to. For women’s sake..

Luis Fernando Verissimo was born in 1936, in the southern city of Porto Alegre, where he

THE GHOST BALLERINA: Anabela in four acts (A bailarina fantasma: Anabela em quatro atos) Socorro Acioli Companhia das Letras/Seguinte, 2016 192 pages

Anabela’s father was the architect chosen to coordinate a project at

the José de Alencar Theatre in Fortaleza: she could barely contain

her excitement! The project involved preserving the original

features of that wonderful entertainment venue which first opened

over a century ago in 1910.

In no time at all it became routine for Anabela to spend her

afternoons in that old theatre doing her homework while her father

worked. But the renovation project ended up unearthing mysteries

hidden away many, many years ago… To Anabela’s surprise, a

translucent ballerina dressed in blue appeared dancing on the stage and following her down

the corridors. What on earth could she be doing there? And why is it that only Anabel can

see her? Who is that ballerina and why is she making an appearance?

Socorro Acioli was born in Fortaleza. She is a journalist, has a master’s degree in Brazilian

Literature and a PhD in Literary Studies. She started her writing career in 2001 and since

then has published books of various genres, including children’s short stories and YA novels,

and has received Brazil’s most prestigious prize for children’s literature, the Jabuti Prize.

In 2006, she was selected to take part in a workshop conducted by the Nobel Prize Winner

Gabriel García Márquez. The author was selected by Márquez himself based on her synopsis

for The Head of the Saint. Socorro is also a translator, essayist and literary theory teacher.

A TRUE-BLUE IDEA (Uma ideia toda azul) Marina Colasanti Global, 1998 64 pages

A True-Blue Idea was a born classic. Not because it deals with the

traditional themes of short stories, or because its characters are

kings, princesses, unicorns and fairies, but because it explores an

inner realm that is timeless.

In this book Marina Colasanti, one of Brazil’s leading writers for

children and young people, breathes new life into a world that

seemed as if it had nothing novel to offer, transforming it with her

words, and creating something fresh from the familiar. The main

themes of “Two Velvet Wings”, “An Ivory Thorn” and “Among the

Green Leaves” are love and death.

Love also features in “Seven Years and a Further Seven”, a recreation of the famous “The

Sleeping Beauty in the Wood”. Sibling rivalry is the main theme of “Beyond the Hoop” and

“Stitch after Stitch”. Both stories explore in depth that natural emotion, enabling the reader

to feel a mixture of identification and horror.

“The Last King” presents us with the infinite possibilities of thought and freedom. Kublai-

Khan, the last of the Mogul dynasty, imprisoned within the walls of his castle, was told about

the world outside by the wind.

In the title story, “A True-Blue Idea”, a young king hides his idea, fearing that it might be

stolen. Now an old man, when he gives up the throne he runs through his palace and down

several staircases to look for his idea in the “Great Halls of Time”. “In the ivory bed the idea

was sleeping peacefully just like it was on that distant day. Just like on that youthful day, so

distant now, a lovely, little idea. But the king was no longer the king he was on that day. A

great deal of time had passed out there in the world, distancing him from his idea, but time

had stood still in the Room of Sleep.”

A True-Blue Idea is not only a book for children. Like the tales of Grimm or Andersen, in their

original versions, it also has deep meanings for older readers.

Marina Colasanti was born in the former Italian colony of Eritrea in 1937. As a child, her

family moved back to Italy, from where they emigrated to Brazil after the end of World War

II. She is one of the most awarded female Brazilian writers, author of about 40 books,

including works for children and young adults, short stories, novels, and essays. Graduated

in Fine Arts, she illustrates most of her books. Marina is also a renowned translator from

English, French, and Italian.

Translation in English is available.

THE KINGDOM DIVIDED IN TWO (O reino partido ao meio) Rosa Amanda Strausz, illustrated by Natalia Colombo Companhia das Letrinhas, 2016 32 pages

There are some things in life that it seems will never change. But

sometimes, when we least expect it, a sudden event turns

everything upside down. This is what happens to the little prince

in this story. Because of an angry dragon, in the blink of an eye his

kingdom and the things in it are split in two.

Initially the situation is frightening and difficult to accept. But in

time the prince ends up discovering new approaches to existence

and understanding that there is more than one way to live.

Rosa Amanda Strausz born in Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro, graduated in Journalism at the

Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. She was the editor of Doce de Letra, the first Brazilian

website dedicated solely to children’s literature, between 1997 and 2007. Her book Uólace
