Book, Under Feet, My Entire Body[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. Novel about past and present by the author of How to Talk to a Fascist and Feminism in common. In a dystopian but dangerously familiar São Paulo, a woman who was unable to live her own life and a young woman looking for her missing mother during the military dictatorship become involved in a game of coming together and distancing themselves in the middle of a rotten city, in that insecurity, the water crisis, coups d'état and a rotten political elite, in which a psychopath stands out who ordered the walls to be painted gray, are the portrait of what was built from the end of utopias. In this new novel, marked by upheavals, resentments, debts and searches for the truth, in a context where being alive or dead is not only a matter of luck but also of perspective, Marcia Tiburi writes about deep scars that have become invisible over time – consequences of reinventing a past in the face of the need to save one’s own future.
