This spring, my students and I read several of Regina's short stories and were entranced by them! The Copan stories are like precious stones on a necklace—each brilliant in its own right, but, when viewed as a whole, part of a larger, skillfully interconnected design. We also read some of her more recent stories, such as \" \u003cem\u003eA Frente\u003c\/em\u003e ,\" and found them equally wonderful. We were impressed by Regina's wry humor (one of the key elements of Brazilian literature), her vision of Brazil's place in our globalized world, and her deeply human spirit. We all feel that Regina more than deserves to be the heir to great Brazilians like Machado de Assis, Drummond, and Clarice Lispector. More than that, we are certain that Regina will play an important role for Brazil as the country assumes its rightful place at the heart of the development of the exciting new field of study of Inter-American literature.
