Paraphilias

THE 2014 SESC AWARD WINNING STORIES Alexandre Marques Rodrigues tells the stories of a writer in crisis, a woman who drinks coffee, a young man who cleans a motel, and a girl who draws her brother. These diverse characters share one thing in common: the search for sex as a way to forget loneliness and quell the emptiness of existence in a meaningless world. Perversions and addictions are described in a concise manner in brief texts replete with artistic references. • Paraphilias was selected from thousands of books by a panel of renowned writers, literary critics, and scholars, including Heitor Ferraz Mello and Ronaldo Bressane.
