From one of Granta’s Best Young Brazilian Novelists, a literary masterpiece that will break your heart
At the narrator’s elite Jewish school in a posh suburb of Porte Alegre, a cruel prank leaves the only Catholic student there terribly injured. Years later, he relives the episode as he examines the mistakes of his past and struggles for forgiveness.
