A multifaceted urban canvas, this work defies classification and ignores narrative conventions, blending fiction and memoir, diary and chronicle of customs, always through the lens of social critique. It is a Rio-romance and a Rio-romance. And it is a roman à clef, where real characters from the city's intellectual life are easily identified.

He was already a renowned author when he began writing The Broken Mirror, followed by the publication of The Trap Shopkeeper (1959) and The Change (1962). The War Is Within Us (1968) is a sobering account of a world in transition, in which remnants of a pre-industrial city coexisted with its disorderly growth and competitive modernization.
