Description
In this artfully plotted novel, Paulo Scott delves into the complex intersections of race, privilege, and guilt through the story of two brothers divided by the color of their skin. Raised in the same Porto Alegre family, Federico and Lourenço navigate vastly different experiences due to their racial identities, leading one to dedicate his life to fighting racism while the other grapples with the advantages his light skin affords him. Years later, a past incident involving Federico becomes entangled with the detention of his niece, unearthing buried tensions and forcing a confrontation with the legacy of racial classification. Seamlessly translated by Daniel Hahn, this illuminating examination of identity and societal structures begins as a sharp satire before evolving into a deeply personal exploration of family and conscience.
