There are also moving scenes—like the mototaxi in Mossoró, the Paris-Milan night train, the nighttime walks in Macau and Buenos Aires—and many surreal and unexpected encounters: with the epiphanic fox in the early hours of the morning in Berlin, a ghost in Portugal, or a Buddhist monastery in Hong Kong. Finally, together with Cuenca, we come to know the corridors of exclusion up close: the Palestinians in Gaza, the underemployed Bolivians in São Paulo, the unusual exchange between Port-au-Prince and New York, masterfully captured in the chronicle \"The Hands That Come from Haiti.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThroughout these journeys, we encounter João Paulo Cuenca's novelistic writing and sensitive observation. The hallmarks of his fictional work remain, beginning with the \"subject out of place,\" which is the essence of these travelogues, in which the author claims never to write about tourism, but rather about traveling. The difference? Travel always conceals the hope of revelation—and this book is full of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \"If every trip is made of moments, count on Cuenca to capture some of them with the sensitivity of someone who seeks unexpected vibes to describe wherever he goes, from a slow dance floor in Cape Verde to a pitch-black night in Stockholm.\" – Zeca Camargo\u003c\/p\u003e \"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174848610556,"sku":"9786555872897","price":64.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"o-dia-mastroianni","title":"Mastroianni Day","description":"\" \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eO Dia Mastroianni\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e, by JP Cuenca, now in a new edition by Record, portrays, and at the same time subverts, the clichés of the generation of young people of the 1990s.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In \u003cem\u003eO Dia Mastroianni\u003c\/em\u003e , by JP Cuenca, the same author of the book of chronicles \u003cem\u003eQualquer lugar menos agora\u003c\/em\u003e (Record, 2021), we follow the 24-hour adventure of Pedro Cassavas and Tomás Anselmo, who wander around the city meeting women and drinking, attending parties to which they were not invited and savoring the privileges and anxieties of their existential and social condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Cuenca skillfully uses the artifices of metalanguage to create a narrative that questions itself, portraying the clichés of a generation of middle-class youth full of information and artistic pretensions, but incapable of creating anything original, and who fear commonplaces, but are unable to break free from them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eJournalist and writer Paulo Roberto Pires adds, on the blurb of this new edition: \"In contemporary fiction, \u003cem\u003eMastroianni's The Day\u003c\/em\u003e has a place as undefined as its plot.
