He became one of the most important names in contemporary Brazilian literature by making his accented voice sound universal. The orality of his work is striking, echoing; more than hearing the written words, the reader is guided by a spoken cadence. There is rhythm in every sentence. The polyphony is so great and so well-conducted that it is as if Marcelino were a writer-maestro.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eWhat we have here is truly mastery. Marcelino is a master. He writes masterfully. It's truly moving to read him. Each of his books. Having Marcelino's short stories gathered in a \u003cem\u003eSelection\u003c\/em\u003e allows us to see, and even hear, the solidity of his magnificent trajectory. It's as if the boy from the Northeast—who, when caught writing, would hear things like, \"Where do you get that from? From your own mind? What the hell?!\"—had built his own foundation of words.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e This \u003cem\u003eSelection - For worse than it seems -\u003c\/em\u003e brings together short stories from his books \u003cem\u003eAngu de sangue (Blood Angu\u003c\/em\u003e ), \u003cem\u003eBaléRalé\u003c\/em\u003e ( \u003cem\u003eRaffle Contos Negreiros)\u003c\/em\u003e , \u003cem\u003eRasif\u003c\/em\u003e (Rasif), \u003cem\u003eAmar é Crime (Love is a crime)\u003c\/em\u003e , and \u003cem\u003eBagageiro (Baggageiro\u003c\/em\u003e ). The selection was made by the author himself, at the publisher's request.
