A morsa : contos de inocência e de violência
Description:
«A girl is a state of mind. Sofia sought sensations like a sunflower following the star-king. To educate a girl, it would perhaps take several mothers: one to put her on, one to dress her; one to feed it, the other to point out good and evil; one to wipe away his tears, another to sharpen his nails; and a seventh to prepare it for war." Of Ana Cláudia Santos it can be said that she is the most classic, the most undisciplined of contemporary Portuguese writers. In the lineage of Lavores de Ana, this is a book of stories that give voice to characters in confrontation with themselves, almost always with lives in disagreement with the memories they keep or the desires they stir up. Stories that draw an indefinable border between innocence and violence, in which language is part of the body inhabited by the characters, and in which the body is the voice of a time, of a geography, of public and private concerns.
