O Chico explora o absurdo da sociedade e da natureza humana como ninguém. É preciso digerir cada conto antes de ler o próximo.

2-3 stars. From the eight stories, three are pretty good, among them "O sítio" e "Para Clarice Lispector, com candura." "O sítio"offers beautiful descriptions of the setting (e.g. p. 131), and "Para Clarice" presents a very well developed and relatable protagonist-narrator. Overall, the whole collection is a nice, easy read, with a wide range of interesting characters and at-times surprising plots.

Bons textos! Se sair uma nova edição escondendo o racismo narcísico e rançoso de velho, que ele realmente tá virando (os negros de Copacabana dariam tudo pra trocar as peles deles pelas perebinhas do riquinho, sério?), dá pra aumentar a nota sem cobrar juros. Um beijo, Chico, se não te der nojo!

O primeiro conto (Meu tio) e o último (Anos de chumbo) são definitivamente os meus preferidos. A meu ver, eles trazem um recorte duro e áspero que eu esperava pelo título da obra e pela totalidade do autor. Confesso que os demais contos não me causaram grandes emoções, mas ainda sim foi uma leitura interessante e capaz de trazer questionamentos sobre características atuais da sociedade brasileira.
