Book, Thirty-something: chronicles[LS]

More than any active writer, Antonio Prata is a fan of the genre - recognized by giants like Rubem Braga, Paulo Mendes Campos, Fernando Sabino and Nelson Rodrigues - that took root here: the chronicle. It could be a pair of socks, a gossip seed, a bad night's sleep, buying a pair of glasses, trying to do abdominal exercises. The more trivial the starting point, the more flavorful the text, the more surprising is the ability to extract meaning and lyricism from apparent banality. Thirty and Few features chronicles selected by the author himself from his column in Folha de S.Paulo. A mosaic with the best texts by Brazil's main chronicler.
