Loose land

A NEW NOVEL FROM ONE OF THE MOST AWARDED WRITERS OF THE CURRENT GENERATION. In this sophisticated novel, prose, poetry, and photography collide to create the strange story of a man who founds a country in his apartment. Shocked by the brutality of the world, he lives at home, translating (or inventing) poems by a Nicaraguan poet, poems about everyday objects that coexist with this urban exile. "[Altair Martins is] one of the most surprising writers of his generation. What Terra avulsa, ultimately, only serves to reaffirm." – José Castello, O Globo
