An erotic and intricate novella from one of the most enigmatic and important figures in Brazilian literature

'Yes, bastard, you're the one I love'

A pair of lovers - a young female journalist and an older man who owns an isolated farm in the Brazilian outback - spend the night together. The next day they proceed to destroy each other. Amid vitriolic insults, cruelty and warring egos, their sexual adventure turns into a savage power game. This intense, erotic cult novel by one of Brazil's most infamous modernist writers explores alienation, the desire to dominate and the wish to be dominated.

Raduan Nassar was born on 27th November 1935, in the interior of the state of Sao Paulo, into a Lebanese immigrant family. After a time in Sao Paulo itself and the publication of two highly acclaimed works, he retired to the rural interior and now divides his time between the city and interior. Although not secretive like Pynchon or Salinger, after publishing his select body of work he has become an acclaimed and rarely sighted cult figure, especially because his work merits the highest praise.
