‘Yes, bastard, you’re the one I love’
A pair of lovers - a young female journalist and an older man who owns an isolated farm in the Brazilian outback - spend the night together. The next day they proceed to destroy each other. Amid vitriolic insults, cruelty and warring egos, their sexual adventure turns into a savage power game.
This intense, erotic cult novel by one of Brazil’s most infamous modernist writers explores alienation, the desire to dominate and the wish to be dominated.
‘A savagely short novel of immeasurable ambition and violent beauty. This is the language of genius.’ - Juan Pablos Villalobos
A new translation by Stefan Tobler
Longlisted for the Man Booker International Prize
