Sinopse

The work brings together literary creations conceived at different stages of the Minas Gerais writer's life, "from youth to maturity, from desire to love." The first, written while still very young, won a national prize in the Permanent Short Story Contest of Carioca magazine, which stated: "This story is ingenious. It reveals qualities of invention and humor. With trouvailles like this, many people have written stories that are out there, in books and translations. It's worth emphasizing, however, that its author is practically a kid: a 14-year-old boy." In the story's introduction, the author confesses that, although elated with the prize, the "14-year-old boy" didn't know what trouvailles meant and didn't like the "kid" at all. At 18, Sabino won an even greater prize: the admiration of Mário de Andrade, in a letter of praise for his story "The Companion"—a little girl's narrative, in her own language, about her friendship with a boy of the same age. The short story "The Musician Rooster" was inspired by his father's pet rooster (whose memory he so cherished in *In the End, It Works*). The devilish rooster only tormented the young student, crowing day and night beneath his bedroom window. In the story, the character confesses that he nearly strangled him. His father liked the story, but advised him to travel, to see other places and more interesting people. He followed the advice, traveled the world, but met no one like his father. And he confesses that from then on, he began to "hear the rooster crow without knowing where." This is followed by the novel "The Other Father," about the drama of a young teenager struggling with the passion inspired by the man she considered herself his daughter. Adulthood begins under the sign of desire, in the love of a student for his landlady and in the initiation of a young man by the "First Blonde," with her repertoire of exquisite delights in bed. "The Faithful Husband" is the one who ends the night of bohemian life in the arms of his own wife. And "The Girl from Búzios" turns out to be a nymphet, whose lust Petrônio himself would never have imagined could be inspired by the boy in his Satyricon. In "The Face," the most nocturnal aspect of the author's experience takes him back to his 18th birthday, faced with the sinister vision of a face through the window. The night is a child—a girl fleeing the lust of men. And after "The Pharisee" goes through the hellish experience of marijuana, the night of love in the final novel, as in the poet's verse, is a "unique night."
