«Receitas de Amor para Mulheres Tristes» is a short-story collection by Héctor Abad Faciolince, published by Editorial Presença in paperback (116 pages).
Colombian writer Héctor Abad Faciolince approaches female sadness through gastronomy: recipes serve as the starting point for an intimate, poetic dialogue on women's emotional world. With humor and irony, he gathers advice and stories to ease woes such as loneliness, ugliness or frigidity.
The original title, «Tratado de culinaria para mujeres tristes», was published in 1996; this Portuguese edition, translated by Pedro Tamen, appeared in April 2000.
