The Love of Singular Men

Bag om The Love of Singular Men

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2024 ALTA FIRST TRANSLATION PRIZE In the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro, one summer in the 1970s, a family-a husband and wife, their daughter, and their crippled teenage son Camilo-take in an orphan named Cosme. The boys unexpectedly fall in love, but an act of violence shatters their intimate world and changes their lives forever. Decades later, when Camilo returns to his hometown, he is haunted by his first love and the long shadow of Brazil's military dictatorship. At once an incisive and unforgiving study of Brazilian society and a fluid, queer coming-of-age story, Victor Heringer's exhilarating and moving novel is worthy of Machado de Assis.
