Sinopse

Further exploring his immediate style, Dalton Trevisan brings together in Bread and Blood stories where resentment and bitterness spill over into human actions.

Dalton Trevisan's subject is situations in which people suddenly have the stunning realization that their flawed lives will never be better. Terrible moments of truth emerge and demand acceptance. Trevisan doesn't waste words, sketching the setting quickly but surely, poring over the characters' psyches, emphasizing them while proposing their irremediable alienation. The full scope of a bitter and frustrated life is suggested in a few pages. An unyielding focus on such intimate insights establishes a severe tone of dignity, even for the most immediate and petty human acts. This is first-rate fiction, in which enormous literary talent achieves what is even more important: a powerful imaginative compassion. – Bruce Allen , Library Journal

"In the context of Dalton Trevisan's stories, being a woman in Brazil is like living in hell. Seductress or victim are the only roles reserved for her. If she finds pleasure in sex, she is sinful or has been dragged by men to feel it, against their will. Brazilian men—embodied in Nelsinho, the vampire—are no better: they hate and adore women, condemned to pursue them relentlessly." – VIVIAN MERCIER , World
