«Meia-noite no jardim do bem e do mal» is the non-fiction chronicle by John Berendt and Paula Reis, in paperback (308 pages, in Portuguese).
In May 1981, a gunshot in a Savannah mansion triggers an investigation that will divide the city. The book reconstructs the case and its judicial implications, and portrays with irony the eccentric inhabitants of the old South: society ladies, a voodoo priestess, a drag queen and an antiques dealer, among others.
Published by Planeta Editora in 1996, this Portuguese edition of the 1994 work was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and won the Lambda Literary Award and the Ferro-Grumley Award.
Recommended for readers of true crime and narrative non-fiction interested in American Southern society.
John Berendt is an American author, known for writing the best-selling non-fiction book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, which was a finalist for the 1995 Pulitzer Prize in General Nonfiction, and The City of Falling Angels, which tells the story of interesting inhabitants of Venice, Italy, whom Berendt met while living there in the months following a fire which destroyed the historic La Fenice opera house in 1996.
