Big boy lullaby - by Conceição Evaristo

It is an affectionate mosaic of black experiences, a loving and painful song. In the figure of the character Fio Jasmim, Conceição masterfully discusses the contradictions and complexities surrounding the masculinity of black men and the effects on relationships with black women. The book is a dive into the poetics of writing and at the same time a tribute to love from a perspective rarely seen in Brazilian literature.
