{"product_id":"desgracida","title":"Unfortunate","description":"With his unmistakable style, Dalton Trevisan proves, once again, why he is considered one of the greatest contemporary Brazilian short story writers. Winner of the 2003 Portugal Telecom Prize for \"Pico na Veina\" and the 2008 Clarice Lispector Award from the National Library Foundation for \"O Maníaco do Olho Verde,\" the author once again unleashes his biting language and caustic humor in \"DESGRACIDA,\" addressing the various facets of the human condition. Divided into two parts, the book begins with \"Ministórias\"—a selection of previously unpublished texts by the Vampire of Curitiba, which reaffirm Dalton's belief that he would only achieve perfection when he composed complete stories with just two or three lines. With each new book, his writing becomes leaner and more concise—meager, without being inane. Here, literally, for those who understand, half a word is enough. The renowned biting irony and habitual sarcasm of his stories are present in 90 short stories—some just one sentence long—that convey all the afflictions and joys of men and women, with intense eroticism and unusual dialogue. A collection of stories that portrays the reality of Brazil today, the disasters of love, scenes of everyday life, private hells, the war of the sexes. In the second part, \"Barely Traced Lines,\" texts are reproduced from old letters sent to friends such as Pedro Nava, Rubem Braga, and Otto Lara Rezende. In these correspondences, the then-young writer commits some \"sacrileges\" regarding some now-renowned works. In a text addressed to his friend Otto, for example, he proposes: \"Let's speak ill of the Grande Sertão. Will you break through or shall I begin?\", before continuing: \"A brilliant chronicler, with the light hand of a hummingbird, but—alas—a lesser novelist.\" The letters exchanged with these famous interlocutors reveal a little more about the ideas of this reclusive writer from Curitiba, averse to interviews, who has amassed a legion of fans that grows proportionally to his apparent shyness. The more he refuses to appear, the more eager critics and the public become for his next work. All information about the author is brief and self-contained, a fragment that merges with others to form a homogeneous piece—like many of his books. DESGRACIDA is another indispensable piece of the puzzle that is Dalton Trevisan's brilliant work.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159466393852,"sku":"9788501090768","price":64.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/4fcec79a63ec32d96bb069db6055fb25_a62175cb-5e58-4498-9222-d672a72eb57e.jpg?v=1783699022","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/desgracida","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
