More about the book

Set against the backdrop of Brazil's political turmoil in 1984, the narrative follows Professor Mike Gaherty as he resumes his research and reporting after a 13-year hiatus imposed by censorship. Tasked with covering the "Direct Elections Now" movement for the New York Times, he navigates old friendships, rekindles ties with musician Chico Buarque, and updates his studies on "Literatura de Cordel." Amidst the watchful eyes of the DOPS security agency, Mike's journey intertwines with Brazilian culture, nostalgia, and the complexities of past romantic entanglements.
