Descrição

A powerful narrative about a man and his attempts to reconnect the threads of his past. A journey to the edges of a divided Brazil, where dialogue no longer seems possible. Late Summer, Luiz Ruffato's sixth novel, is a story of inadequacy. After more than twenty years, Oséias, a man abandoned by his wife and son, decides to return to his hometown, Cataguases, in Minas Gerais. For six days, we followed step by step their wanderings, visits to family, meetings with old local characters. The shadow of the suicide of one of her sisters, Lígia, and the failed communication with practically everyone around her accompany her attempts to reconnect the threads of the past. In the midst of a Brazil that seems to go from project to ruin at every moment, Late Summer proposes a reflection on a society in which social classes have completely broken dialogue and, as one of its characters states, have become “wandering planets” ready to enter a collision course and destroy each other.
