Notă biografică

Raduan Nassar was born in 1935 in Pindorama, in the state of Sao Paolo, Brazil. A Cup of Rage and Ancient Tillage are his two major literary works. Raised in a Lebanese immigrant family, Nassar attended law school at the University of Sao Paolo and was a journalist and editor for the newspaper Jornal de Bairro. Although hailed around the world as a major writer, Nassar has led a private existence since 1985, dedicated to farming and livestock production.

Recenzii

If this country were grown-up enough to have a literary Good Sex award, this explosively erotic story from the Brazilian modernist would be a strong contender... A Cup of Rage is a burning coal of a work, superbly translated by Stefan Tobler....The writing is chewy - dense, tough, but well worth the effort
'How often, honestly, does the unveiling in translation of a 'forgotten genius' live up to the hype? Well here's one that does: Raduan Nassar
The book contains much: rich inner monologue, political allusions and a mesmerising pull between dominance and insolence in lovers' quarrels
Raduan Nassar's work is both rare and transcendent. From the conflict between the couple in "A Cup of Rage" to the return of the prodigal son of an immigrant family in "Ancient Tillage", Nassar's narratives are dry, muscular - and when you least expect it, raise flight and achieve uncommonly lyrical plains. His books are like a land manually ploughed in a precise and essential way; there is not a single excessive word in either of them. His language sprouts up with force and expression; every word is an exposed nerve.
One of the highest points of the Portuguese language of our time
Raduan Nassar has created one of the most rare and incandescent books in contemporary Brazilian literature
These are 70 pages full of wonderfully fiery and shrieking prose, to be quaffed off, hot, in one deep draught
A diagram of exciting prose about a loving relationship in his verbal outburst - a great book
