{"title":"João Anzanello Carrascoza","description":"\u003cp\u003eJoão Anzanello Carrascoza nasceu em Cravinhos, interior de São Paulo em 1962. Mudou-se para a capital do estado ainda jovem, a fim de estudar publicidade, unindo o gosto por história à arte de vender, apreendida com o pai. Em 1993, recebeu o Prêmio Guimarães Rosa por seu conto “O vaso azul”, presente nesta Seleta. De lá para cá, sua extensa produção literária inclui romances, contos e novelas infanto-juvenis, com prosa marcadamente poética e capaz de revelar uma singular percepção da subjetividade humana. Foi agraciado com importantes láureas, como os Prêmios Jabuti (2007, 2013 e 2015), Eça de Queiroz (2000), APCA de Literatura (2012), Biblioteca Nacional (2011, 2017 e 2021), Candango (2022) e Fundação Nacional do Livro Infantil e Juvenil (2013, 2014, 2018 e 2020). Atualmente, segue dedicando-se a docência na Universidade de São Paulo (USP) e na Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing (ESPM) e escreve sua obra literária, buscando com ela alcançar a raiz das coisas.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"seleta-um-mundo-de-brevidades","title":"Select: A world of brevities","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis \u003cem\u003eselection\u003c\/em\u003e brings together short stories and fragments of novels by the award-winning writer João Anzanello Carrascoza.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e A small sample of the vast literary output of this author, who chose short stories as his preferred form of expression—even when we're talking about his novels.
