1. A Visita Cruel Do Tempo
A linked collection of vividly different scenes and voices that follows a group of people connected to the music business over several decades, tracing how careers, friendships and identities are shaped, fractured and occasionally redeemed by the passage of time. Shifting perspectives—from a driven record executive to a kleptomaniac teenager, a recovering addict, and an elusive hacker—reveal the small, decisive moments and missed opportunities that accumulate into life’s losses and surprises, while inventive formal leaps (including a chapter in slides) underline the novel’s meditation on memory, art, and the effects of technology and aging on intimacy and ambition.
