A young man's father, near death, reveals to his boy the true report of his grandfather's fatality, or at least the truth as he understands it. The mean old gaucho was murdered by some fellow villagers in Garopaba, a sleepy town on the Atlantic now famous for its browsing on and fishing. It was almost an execution, vigilante style. Or so the story should go. It really is almost as though his father has given the young man a deathbed task. He has no strong ties to home, he's ready for a big change, and he is in love with the seaside and is a superb sea swimmer, so he strikes out for Garopaba, without even being quite sure why. He locates a flat by this particular and builds a simple new lease of life, taking his father's old dog as a associate. He swims in the ocean every day, makes a few friends, gets into into a relationship, begins to make inquiries. But information doesn't come easily. A rare neurological condition means that he doesn't recognize the faces of men and women he's satisfied, leading frequently to awkwardness and occasionally to hostility. Along with the people who find out about his grandfather seem fearful, even haunted. Life becomes complicated in Garopaba until it becomes downright dangerous. Steeped in a very special atmosphere, both languid and anxious, and soaked in the sultry allure of south Brazil, Daniel Galera's masterfully extra and powerful prose unfolds a story of breakthrough that feels almost archetypal - a display of storytelling sorcery that builds with oceanic push and announces one of Brazil's best young freelance writers to the English-speaking world.
