MENTIRAS DO RIO won the 2008 Sesc Prize in the short story category, wowing a respected jury: writers Luiz Vilela and Flávio Carneiro. In its previous editions, the award revealed talents such as Marco Aurélio Cremasco, with Santo reis da luz divina (Santo reis da luz divina)—a finalist for the 2005 Jabuti Prize—and Eugênia Zerbini and her As netas da Ema (Ema's granddaughter), which was widely accepted in São Paulo schools. He also supervised other important awards: Wesley Peres, with Casa entre vértebras (House Between Vineyards), and Sérgio Guimarães, Zé, Mizé, Camarada André, were finalists for the São Paulo Prize in the Best Book of the Year category for debut authors. An expert in International Relations, visual artist, and amateur musician, Sergio Leo was singled out among the 51 short story collections that made it through the first selection. In the texts of RIO LIES, Sergio found a way to address urban tension and the relationship between fiction and journalistic reporting. Recalling personal and professional experiences from his time in Rio de Janeiro, the now Brasília resident also navigates freer forms of writing. The short stories show two sides of life in Rio de Janeiro: the everyday life of a beautiful place with interesting people, and the tension of the violence of the same daily life. The book brings together stories inspired by this contrast: between life considered normal and routine, and violence and loneliness. \"I write about Rio de Janeiro as a pretext to talk about the very act of writing, of telling stories, about the impossibility of knowing a world outside of us or beyond the discourses in which we package all our experience,\" argues the author. RIO LIES possesses imagination, style, and consistency. A book that enchants both with its compelling stories and Sergio's refined writing.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159415701756,"sku":"9788501087065","price":49.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/16319938f6cc09e5afcb2c698803ee8c_84c056bb-d685-42da-ac36-44fac2800371.jpg?v=1778323013"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/sergio-leo.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
