Bate-papo sobre o livro “Incidente em Antares”, de Erico Verissimo

In 2021, Erico Verissimo's book "Incident in Antares" celebrates 50 years since its publication. Released during the military dictatorship, the work did not shy away from addressing themes such as torture, corruption, and authoritarianism, weaving a sharp and hilarious political critique. To reflect on the importance of this timeless work and of Erico Verissimo, this Tuesday (18), at 7 pm, we are promoting a special digital meeting with the participation of writer and professor Jeferson Tenório — author of "The Other Side of the Skin" — and writer and translator Carol Bensimon — author of "The Smoke Gardeners Club". * Purchase the book now at online stores: Amazon: https://amzn.to/3tOBfZm LDM: https://bit.ly/2S2o1eF Livraria da Travessa: https://bit.ly/3ykPOr6 Martins Fontes Paulista: https://bit.ly/2Ro71zi Submarino: https://afl.b2w.io/bzV5 * 📚 Learn more about the book: In December 1963, on Friday the 13th, matriarch Quitéria Campolargo's eyes widen in her tomb, imagining she is face to face with the Creator. But she soon discovers that she is outside the cemetery of the city of Antares, along with six other corpses, undead like her, all unburied. A general strike in the city, which even the gravediggers joined, prevents the burial of the dead. What to do? The distinguished corpses, already decaying, decide to claim their right to be buried – otherwise, they threaten to haunt the city. They wander through the streets and houses, uncovering villainy and denouncing evils. The foul smell emanating from their bodies mirrors the moral decay that pervades the city.
