Unveiling contradictions and paradoxes of the creative act, the book weaves deep considerations about the writing process. Where do stories come from? How are they told? When are they released into the world? In addition to these issues, the book is also about the specifics that are involved in a writer’s job, the cultural industry and the intricate relationship between literature and history. To cross “this street of knowledge” and address myths as inspiration, sexual persona, or the habit of chance capture and observation of the world, Maria José gathered testimonials by fellow writers Ivana Arruda Leite, Luiz Bras, Índigo, Marcelino Freire, Rodrigo Lacerda, among several others. Believing that “the fascination for extraordinary stories is part of her nature,” Maria José pays a tribute to Mallarme, the French poet, and quotes: “Everything in the world exists in order to end up as a book.” www.bambooeditorial.com.br [email protected]
