«Estorvo» is the novel by Chico Buarque, published by Publicações Dom Quixote in paperback (138 pages).
A man with no special qualities leaves his home upon feeling watched and threatened. What follows is a poetic and hallucinatory narrative that reads as a great metaphor for contemporary Brazil: a country where social classes blur under the sign of crime, memory is uncertain, and escape becomes impossible.
Winner of the Prêmio Jabuti (1992) as Book of the Year – Fiction. It belongs to the Letras do Brasil collection.
For readers of contemporary Brazilian fiction and of poetic prose with symbolic weight.
Francisco Buarque de Hollanda, popularly known as Chico Buarque, is a Brazilian singer-songwriter, guitarist, composer, playwright, writer, and poet. He is best known for his music, which often includes social, economic, and cultural reflections on Brazil.
