Vultures in the Living Room
Lula Falcão
Publisher: Casa Forte Press
Summary
Casa Forte Press announces the first English translation of Lula Falcão's Vultures in the Living Room, available in all bookstores and Kindle worldwide. Falcão--the author of critically acclaimed books including one being adapted to screen—writes from the port city of Recife. His writing is unmistakably original, his satirical and at times absurdist stories provide a direct gateway to universal truths in contemporary Brazil. Vultures in the Living Room, like Ionesco's post -war Rhinoceros, is an important reflection on human vulnerability during times of political and social uncertainty. A escrita de Falcão é inconfundivelmente original. Ele equilibra o impossível na narrativa: sua prosa é atemporal, mas profundamente enraizada na obscura história recente do Brasil. São pequenos contos que oscilam entre o absurdo e o sentido e a falta de sentido da vida.
