Sinopse

Lya Luft is generous: in times of self-absorbed literature, the writer — a radical creator — once again invites the reader to take a place in her intimacy.

This is an artist who faces life—who faces life's greatest pain—through the weaving of words. Through the unique poetic prose that characterizes her work, for which there is only one classification, "the Lya Luft genre," the author reflects on what she defines as "Human Things ," contemplating the beautiful and ugly sides of existence, the light and the heavy, the things that are easily dealt with and the hardest to bear. Lya summons the reader and gradually unveils meanings: childhood and old age, joy and terror, family, loneliness and love, work and struggle, beauty, mystery, and death—everything that makes us human.

"This isn't meant to be a dark or tragic book, but a celebration of many good and beautiful things, like childhood, family, love, reading, art, nature, and friendship. Of course, sad things, like heartbreak, misunderstanding, abandonment, fear, frustration, doubt, and death are also part of life. But for my reader, my faithful imaginary friend, I hope this is a message of clarity, and that, despite everything, it resonates, here and there, with the blessing of joy in what has been experienced and what is yet to be experienced."
