Paulista Avenue

The author—controversial Portuguese columnist João Pereira Coutinho—has a highly personal selection of his chronicles published in Folha de S. Paulo between 2005 and 2008, resulting in this book, Avenida Paulista. Divided into two parts, "Sambas" and "Chorinhos," he unleashes his ironic wit on topics ranging from politics to literature, from travel to mischief. Guaranteed entertainment with a Portuguese accent.
