WILD DIARY – Brazil in the sights of a nonconformist and irreverent writer

In this diary, edited by journalist Jason Tércio, the reader meets the man behind the high-energy literary chronicles. Oliveira was not neutral; his writing addressed every topic: politics, culture, customs, social and existential issues, and nightlife, which he knew like no other. He was a historic bohemian from Rio de Janeiro's South Zone, a moving (and apparent) fragility, tormented by insoluble conflicts, bar-hopping, with irregular eating habits, unstable relationships, and little money in his pocket—"the last of the clochards," as Vinicius de Moraes put it.
