Roadside bagasse

In "Bagaço de beira-estrada," Mário Lago (1901-2002) recounts his rich experience in Brazilian radio, especially at Rádio Nacional. These pages recount his dramas and comedies, behind-the-scenes intrigues, and comical, moving, and grotesque situations. He also records the encroachment of censorship, the dismissals, the impeachments, and the shocking denunciations that, beginning in April 1964, plunged Rádio Nacional into decline.
