In A faca no coração , the short story writer from Curitiba shows that human dramas are truly invariable.
"Here, Dalton Trevisan creates twenty-two short stories, within his artistic reality . Characters, dramas, tragedies, the pathetic and the sensitive. Human nature, a reflection and reference in the world of creation, is multifaceted, if art weren't a labyrinth of mirrors in search of its truth . Dalton Trevisan works in his laboratory . An alchemist, he shapes his "monsters," cuts their flesh with fire and iron—the knife to the heart—to resolve their innards.
In this dark world of exceptional cases, the erotic could not be absent, but in Dalton Trevisan the erotic is measured, sometimes sublimated, or sometimes just a farce that can reach hilarity.
In addition to the economy of means, the synthesis of language, and the cross-cutting of dialogue and narrative, Dalton Trevisan develops the temporal concretion or chronological cut, which is highly effective in the reduced (material) space of the short story. Although not a new aspect of his work, the author now decisively embraces the experimental, the research, and even certain "hermetic" resources of his process work satisfactorily, benefiting from a climate in which reality and fable intersect. – Assis Brasil
