Casa Forte Press is delighted to announce the first English translation of Lula Falcão’s Vultures in the Living Room, available in all bookstores and Kindle worldwide.

After decades working as a journalist in São Paulo, he now lives in the port city of Recife, northeastern Brazil.

Falcão is the author of several books, two adapted into feature films.

Falcão’s writing is unmistakably original. He balances the impossible in storytelling: his prose is atemporal but deeply rooted in Brazil’s recent dark history. It is fiction rooted in physics, Big Bang theory and the geophysical apocalypse of the Anthropocene era. His satirical and at times absurdist stories provide a direct gateway to some universal truths.

Vultures in the Living Room, like Ionesco’s post -war Rhinoceros, is an important reflection on human vulnerability during times of political and social uncertainty.
