It utilizes various technical resources without becoming tiresome or obscure, as its raison d'être lies in the story itself. In \"At Four and a Half in the Morning,\" for example, the rhythm conveys the narrator's breathless, sleepless wait for his beloved. Using banal scenes and lines from everyday life, the author examines the tensions in human relationships, across gender and generation. The characters' voices are believable, and there are beautiful verbal finds.\" – Daniel Piza\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eKissing Teeth\u003c\/em\u003e won the 2007 Sesc Literature Prize\u003c\/p\u003e \"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159533895932,"sku":"9788501082565","price":49.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/d5e08e4399a0572b417134d69eb6e1e9.jpg?v=1778321397"},{"product_id":"dias-de-domingo","title":"Sundays","description":"\"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eA collection featuring some of the leading names in contemporary Brazilian prose that reflects on Sunday – a day of the week especially steeped in its own joys, mysteries, and revelations.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e A day awaited, celebrated, feared, unlike any other.
