Descrição

In her second book, Aline Bei — winner of the São Paulo Literature Prize with The Weight of the Dead Bird — constructs a portrait that is as sensitive as it is brutal about family, love and abandonment. Julia is the daughter of separated parents: her mother cannot bear the idea of ​​having been abandoned by her husband, while her father cannot bear the idea of ​​having been married. Suffocated by an atmosphere of constant fights and lack of affection, the young writer tries to recognize her individuality and give meaning to her story, trying to free herself from family traumas. Between memories of childhood and adolescence, and dreams for the future, Julia finds essential characters to face loneliness while at the same time rehearsing her own choreography, in a sequence of movements towards and away from her parents that leaves indelible marks on her. Written with the original prose that made Aline Bei one of the great revelations of contemporary Brazilian literature, Pequena choreographação do adeus is an emotional novel that shows how our relationships shape who we are. “Aline Bei narrates as someone who stands on the edge of the abyss, her body waiting, the moment that approaches. To read Little Choreography of Goodbye is to follow this fall, steep and definitive, but also sublime and transformative.” — Carola Saavedra “The formal experimentation that underlined Aline Bei's striking style, in her debut with The Weight of the Dead Bird, is consolidated in this second novel, bringing us the painful story of Júlia Terra — a complex character, whose family margins go dissipating. The lyrically woven plot intertwines affective education, violence and the experience of lovelessness, revealing the paradox of the human condition — at once precarious and (through writing) redemptive.” — João Anzanello Carrascoza
