1. Dia Da Libertação
Stories
A brisk, darkly comic collection of short stories that blends surreal premises with tender moral inquiry, examining how people cope with grief, loneliness, and moral compromise under late capitalism. Through satiric scenes of corporate rituals, experimental therapies, and media-saturated lives, the stories shift between absurdist invention and intimate emotional truth, testing whether decency and connection can survive systems built to erode them. The tone moves from bleakly funny to compassionate, offering sharp social critique alongside moments of genuine human warmth.
