Sinopse

The Fatal Side is a poetic catharsis, in which Lya Luft pours out her grief in metaphors that fill our eyes with tears and our hearts with empathy. Originally published in 1988, the book was out of print for many years, only available in secondhand bookstores by admirers of the author's poetry. This edition by Editora Record allows readers to once again be moved by the work's lyricism.

With extreme sensitivity, the author—a publishing phenomenon in Brazil and around the world, and one of the most respected contemporary writers—turns us into her imaginary friends: accomplices and companions in reflections on the complexity of human relationships and the power of feelings. These poems exude the enchantment of words, revealing the virulence of pain, of nonconformity with one's own destiny.

By verbalizing her deepest feelings, she restructures her life based on this loss. A zero point in a life remade in death: step by step, with small, everyday acts that bring relief and comfort in their predictability and constancy.

The poetry gains strength from the humanity of its writing. Through its simple language, its lyrical recap of the experiences of a broken love, its insight into the relationships established between the living and the dead, and its fragmentary yet concatenated narrative, this book is a delicate ode to love.

The Fatal Side strikes us with its poignancy and precision, elaborating on the most solitary human emotion: the greatest loss, grief. We've all been there. We'll all be there. Once again, the author speaks for us in this book about death, pain, and recovery. More than a must-read, the poems collected here constitute a fundamental study of the human soul in the face of the fragility and strength of the heart.
