You will now change bodies

Raimundo Carrero releases the long-awaited novel written during his battle with a stroke that nearly took his life. In the early hours of October 18th to 19th, 2010, writer Raimundo Carrero—one of Brazil's most awarded authors—suffered a stroke that left him with a damaged left side. Upon returning from the hospital ICU where he had remained for 15 days, he sat down at his computer to try to transform that painful experience into literature. Four years and several erased drafts later, Carrero finally found the literary form he was looking for. *O senhor agora vai mudar de corpo* is a short and poignant novel, in which the writer revisits decisive moments of his past life, beginning with the terrifying moment when he feared he would definitively lose control of his body.
