Synopsis "Secreciones, Excreciones Y Desatinos (in Spanish)"

El nuevo libro de relatos del mayor cuentista vivo en lengua portuguesa.Rubem Fonseca regresa al género que lo ha consagrado mundialmente, al relato, con su habitual irreverencia. Si hasta ahora sus delirantes personajes estaban tomados del mundo del sexo, de la violencia y de la marginalidad, esta vez han entrado de lleno en la fisiología del cuerpo humano asociándola a los desatinos del alma.

Rubem Fonseca (Juiz de Fora, Brazil, May 11, 1925 – Rio de Janeiro, April 15, 2020) was one of the most influential writers and screenwriters in contemporary Brazilian literature. Considered a major renovator of narrative in Portuguese, his direct, raw, and uncompromising style masterfully portrayed urban violence, marginality, and the social contradictions of modern Brazil. Before dedicating himself entirely to literature, Fonseca worked as a lawyer and police commissioner in Rio de Janeiro, experiences that deeply marked his work and allowed him to explore human complexity from a unique perspective.

He debuted in 1963 with The Prisoners and gained international notoriety with titles such as Happy New Year, The Collector, The Morel Case, High Art, August, Bufo & Spallanzani, and Vast Emotions and Imperfect Thoughts. His work, essential for dirty realism and Latin American crime literature, has been translated into numerous languages and adapted into films. Fonseca received notable literary awards, including the Camões Prize (2003), the Juan Rulfo Prize (2003), and the Ibero-American Narrative Manuel Rojas Prize (2012), consolidating his legacy as an indispensable reference in Portuguese-language literature.
