Sinopse

After fifteen years without writing a novel, the immortal of the Brazilian Academy of Letters Antônio Torres returns to the genre with Querida cidade .

There are writers for whom the past, present, and future don't exist separately; they are one. This fusion of times allows their characters to simultaneously experience the life they've already lived, which is responsible for their current state, and the life they'll yet live, because at every moment, who they are today influences, or even determines, who they will be tomorrow. Antônio Torres is one of these writers.

Dear City tells the story of a protagonist who, like other characters in the book, left the small town where he was born—to seek a better life, to study, or even to escape something. Talking to his mother about his father, who disappeared without a trace many years before, the son reminisces about his own journey of exodus, independence, failure, and eventual return to his roots.

Through memories, projections, and cultural references from a deep-seated Brazil, the narrative weaves together the dreamlike and the everyday, love and melancholy, despair and acceptance. A triumph of a great author at his finest.

“Read Antônio Torres. This man is very good.” - Jorge Amado

“Born in Bahia, and indelibly marked by the backlands, Antônio Torres writes about the fascination of labyrinth-cities.” - Le Nouvel Observateur

“Torres inherited the narrative techniques of European, North American, and Latin American modernists along with the great oral traditions of Brazil.” - Los Angeles Times

“His literature has a poetic force that treats the sordid and the sad as parts of a creative mechanism unwilling to falsify reality or to transgress with subterfuge what history wants to silence.” - Nélida Piñon
