Sinopse

Dias Gomes turned the play "O bem-amado" into a highly successful television soap opera and, subsequently, a TV series, also with widespread popular acclaim. Now, from this electronic feat, he has selected seven highly entertaining episodes that narrate the "adventures and misadventures of Zeca Diabo and his people in the lands of Odorico Paraguaçu."

Sucupira is Brazil seen through the opposite end of the binoculars. Not to belittle the view, but simply to transform an immense universe into a tiny minute, a microcosm, where the ills, impostures, trickery, and deceit—in short, the comedy of the greater world—can be found, reduced, miniaturized, but not hidden.

The joyful stories in this book offer a territory more real than imaginary. Dias Gomes begins with facts and events, and then, filtering them through his creative mind, transposes them to the realm of fiction.

And he does so in such a way that one comes to believe these very facts and events were always fiction. Nothing more than crude fictions waiting for someone to infuse them with artistic dignity. Something the Bahian playwright achieves with splendid skill.

The real and the imaginary enter into close union, and Sucupira and its people begin to belong to literature.

Dias Gomes cultivates a lively sense of humor in his narratives. But in a Brazilian style. That is, in a playful, mocking, and playful way. Through the ridiculous and farcical, he desacralizes myths, attitudes, and behaviors.
