Ana Luisa had received these letters between 1964 and 1965, when she and Nelson had a youthful romance, and had kept them for fifty years. Rereading her former boyfriend's correspondence so many years later, Ana said she was impressed by the depth and quality of the writing, especially considering they were both only 20 years old at the time. It is these letters that Nelson has now transformed into the core of his new book, complemented by delightful contextualizations of the historical, cultural, and romantic circumstances in which they were written.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003e\"Paper Hearts\u003c\/em\u003e ,\" Nelson Motta offers an autobiographical account in epistolary form, and a snapshot of those times of profound turmoil in Brazilian society and the world.
