Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The acclaimed Brazilian author's prize-winning, "captivating [and] impeccably structured novel" of a therapist and the trans patient he lost (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Armando, one of the most renowned therapists in São Paulo, is nearing the end of a long, illustrious career. Against his better judgment he agrees to take on a new patient: Sergio, the teenage son of a wealthy Brazilian businessman. Sergio suffers from malaise and his parents are concerned. But after a number of sessions, Sergio abruptly interrupts his course of therapy following a trip to New York, saying only that he has found his own path to happiness and must pursue it alone. Though perplexed, Armando lets the matter rest without further ado. That is, until he learns from the boy's mother that Sergio has moved to New York in order to become Sandra. Shocked by this revelation and disappointed in his own lack of awareness, Armando embarks on a journey to discover the truth about his former patient--and about himself.Winner of the Paraná Literary Prize for Best Novel, Sergio Y. is "a beautiful, moving, profound book . . . Wonderfully accomplished and subtle" (Andrew Solomon, author of Far from the Tree). …

Paperback. Condition: New. New; Um romance que investiga, com inteligência e delicadeza, as fronteiras da sexualidade no mundo contemporâneo.Narrado por um experiente e sofisticado psiquiatra, Sergio Y. vai à América coloca diante do leitor duas questões fortes do nosso tempo: o poder do testemunho (e o que ele pode esconder em sua aparente carga de veracidade) e o deslocamento. No caso, sexual. O jovem Sergio Y., bem-nascido e aparentemente sem grandes dramas na sua ainda curta existência - embora se considere infeliz -, é um "paciente interessante", como diz o narrador. Frequenta o consultório regularmente, rememora aspectos da sua formação familiar, mas um dia desaparece para sempre, abandonando o tratamento. A esse mistério se acrescenta outro, acachapante, que tira a aparente serenidade do psiquiatra e o faz incursionar em uma busca que tem tanto de detetivesca quanto de psicanalítica. Com elegância e precisão, Alexandre Vidal Porto constrói um romance que é, a um só tempo, uma investigação sobre os caminhos da sexualidade e uma intensa reflexão sobre aquilo que falamos ou deixamos de falar. A memória, a construção da identidade e os papéis que desempenhamos ao longo de nossas vidas aparecem aqui com delicadeza e enorme poder de síntese.; 184 pages.…

Paperback. Condition: New. New; Nesta segunda edição, completamente revista pelo autor, de seu romance de estreia, Alexandre Vidal Porto nos mostra um homem preso no pesadelo kafkiano da vida cotidiana, e sua tentativa desesperada -- ainda que infrutífera -- de se libertar.Matias Grappeggia tem quase cinquenta anos. É casado, mas solitário; saudável, mas hipocondríaco; mulherengo, mas incapaz de se conectar. Com essa vida sempre muito previsível, não se espera que esse advogado bem-sucedido se arrisque em mais nada.Contudo, quando Matias se encontra à beira de uma revelação amoroso-religiosa, ele percebe que precisa fazer uma escolha definitiva. Percorrendo a cidade de São Paulo durante quatro dias, o advogado revive parte importante de suas memórias, mas também escancara seus desejos mais íntimos.A busca da conexão, do amor e da identificação com o outro é o tema deste primeiro romance de Alexandre Vidal Porto, publicado originalmente em 2005 e que agora ganha segunda edição totalmente revisada pelo autor.; 136 pages.…

Paperback. Condition: New. New; O novo romance de Vidal Porto nos conduz ao século XVII, quando a homossexualidade era um crime cuja punição resultava, às vezes, em uma viagem forçada ao Brasil. Misturando fatos históricos com fábula selvagem, o autor discute temas atuais sem nunca perder sua verve irônica.O quarto romance de Alexandre Vidal Porto, conhecido pelo seu estilo límpido para tratar de cenas contemporâneas, retorna vários séculos para narrar a saga de Delgado, um violeiro de Évora que chegou a Salvador no ano de 1669, degredado pelo crime de sodomia -- um código para homossexualidade.É em território brasileiro, com seu passado apagado, que Delgado se reinventa como comerciante, assume um casamento de fachada e se joga nos deleites carnais com os belos rapazes que cruzam seu caminho.Misturando um falso português arcaico e a linguagem oral de hoje, Sodomita desbrava temas atuais -- da laicidade do Estado aos resquícios da escravidão -- em uma roupagem inusitada e divertida."Sodomita não é um livro de época ou um simples romance histórico, porque fala de questões até hoje relevantes -- tirania, opressão, desejo, esperança -- com um narrador zeloso, comovido pelo que vê e imbuído de nos saciar com boa água estética." -- Andréa Del Fuego; 160 pages.…

Softcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. New book, unread, in perfect condition. Text in Portuguese. Softcover, 21 x 14 x 1.4 cm, 242 g. Published by Editora Schwarcz SA, Brasil, 2026. 1st Edition. Contributors: Loureiro, Raul (cover designer). Finishing: Com orelhas. Resumo (em português): Quem não viveu um amor impossÃvel, argumenta o narrador do novo romance de Alexandre Vidal Porto, está em desvantagem na vida, pois aprende-se muito ao olhar para o passado e refletir sobre uma relação que poderia ter sido, mas por diversos motivos não foi. Mesmo que sà depois de muitos anos â" dà cadas, Ãs vezes â" sejamos capazes de dar os contornos adequados ao que aconteceu. O protagonista de Sà depois entenderei possui um emprego respeitável no Itamaraty, mas em meados dos anos 1990, o amor entre homens ainda à algo que se ocultava e era tratado com tabu em cargos públicos. Por isso, deslumbra-se com as possibilidades anà nimas dos primà rdios da internet. Se, a princÃpio, tudo o que buscava era sexo, logo ele terá sua vida virada do avesso por uma paixão avassaladora por um homem casado e com filhos. Com uma prosa direta, de crueza estarrecedora, Alexandre Vidal Porto mergulha fundo nas delÃcias e sofrimentos de uma paixão que, por sorte ou azar, muitos de nà s já vivenciamos.…
