Minas Gerais Cases

The memories of a country man The memory of Minas Gerais recovered through popular stories and tales. A delightful, humorous, and fluent text. Olavo reaches deep into his memory, recovering from there certain things he wishes would never die: a particular sound, a scent lingering on his skin, animals, people, our people, situations. He never falls into the trap of descriptions; he simply narrates. The style is clean, unadorned, and perfectly matches the stories. The cunning, the mischief, the wisdom of a country man—it's all here, whole and intact. And his language is respected, without the idiotic graphic distortions.
