Synopse:
And that is how it is. There are parents and children whose relations are based on questions, dialogues and answers. But there are also the ones who never get along, being therefore condemned, by themselves, to a living together of (either by the absence) silent and cruelty. I think of the book Letter to his Father, by Kafka. Or even the unforgettable confronting between son and father in the Lavoura Arcaica novel, by Raduan Nasser... Parents and children, taciturn or loquacious, have interested me throughout my life as a reader. I will never forget the day I read See of Azov for the first time. It was raining in Salvador when I finished the reading and I felt an urge of living the apartment in order to extravasate all of the euphoria the book had given me. I went for a walk in the streets, intoxicated by images, not caring for the rain. Hélio pólvora’s story represented not only a dialogue which I longed to find with my father, but also the inspiration of uniting in one single book the texts you now can have.
