In delicate pages of pain, love, silence, and pleasure, Carpinejar does the seemingly impossible: define himself. After receiving the 2009 Jabuti Award in the Short Stories and Chronicles category and surprising readers with his avant-garde collection of tweets, Fabricio Carpinejar presents his new collection of chronicles: Mulher Perdigueira (Woman Perdigueira). In this work, the author creates meaning for the unseen. That which has no color but colors, that has no weight but beats, that has no shape but taste. That which makes people different, that tears apart stories, that brings kisses closer, that connects souls, that builds and destroys inversely. Fabrício speaks of what matters. Whether dissecting the female soul in Gay Heterosexual, transforming plastic into truths in Pratinho do Vaso (Little Potty Prawn), or displaying irony in Ou entra em tratamento ou termino o namoro (Or I enter treatment or I end the relationship) and Fifteen Minutes of Truth, what Carpinejar does is lean into the ethereal. He glassed himself, pierced people with a magnifying glass, and didn't find pores, but rather veins. In Mulher Perdigueira, he's more mature, and his rationality serves to reinforce the escape he experiences when he transcends coherent form and emerges pureblood to flow again, dualizing the configuration of things, sending chills between the lines, taking our breath away in the space between words, and dying of love with each full stop. "Fabrício Carpinejar (...) lends his gaze to comment on everyday life, and the result is surprising: he reads inside out, inaugurates words, unlocks meanings, unravels concepts, unleashes original ideas, startling the impassive crowd, as we can see in Mulher Perdigueira. But he goes further: he reestablishes a dialogue with the audience, unusual among his peers, sharing doubts, anxieties, and astonishment. (...) Carpinejar undertakes his work with the awareness of those who know they are predestined." Luiz Rufatto
