Sinopse

Author of more than 15 titles, including fiction, educational volumes, and academic essays, Tezza returns to short stories after more than 30 years dedicated to novels. "I confess I was never a short story writer. I wrote only one book of short stories in my life, 'The Invented City,' stories painstakingly created and polished between 1969 and 1979 with the intention of learning to write and master the arts of fiction, and published in 1980," declares the author. In Beatriz, the character who became known to the public in "An Emotional Error" now accompanies the author in original situations. Composed of seven long stories and a revealing prologue, in which the author confesses his weaknesses, the collection of short stories bears the mark of the novelist: in all of them, the same character, Beatriz, appears at different moments in her life, and sometimes Paulo Donetti, the writer who is her difficult passion. Seven intertwined stories that are also the story of the construction of a character – someone who wants to speak, work, and walk on her own two feet. The author reveals that Beatriz's short stories are, in a way, not a continuation of the previous novel, despite having appeared before, but rather its premises: "All the texts were rewritten for this edition, because now I know more about Beatriz and Donetti than I did when I invented them." Beatriz is many: the object of a fierce dispute between two enemy writers; the teacher who perceives in her student's blue eyes a cry for help; the clerk of an old lady who confesses her unforgettable crime; the proofreader of a man's text who invites her into a trap that proves deadly; the potential partner of a former colleague who mysteriously reappears in her home; the lover of the tattooed young man who is the heir to a second-hand bookstore. And, at times, the memory of Paulo Donetti. By immersing themselves in the fiction, the reader simultaneously reflects on the relationships between reader and author, reading and book, the writer and the liturgy of their office. The language is limpid and crystalline. Beatriz is told by an attentive narrator, a voice that observes every gesture and, in each scene, subtly assimilates the gaze that, between the lines of the text, sees and feels. A wonderful literary journey from one of the most important Brazilian writers of our time.
