Resistance

Winner of the Jose Saramago Prize (Portugal), Jabuti Prize (Brazil) and Anna Seghers' Prize (Germany), and a EnglishPEN Translates Award (UK), this is an impressive work by one of Brazil's rising literary stars. An unnervingly timely novel given the recent election of a far right President (Jair Bolsonaro) in that country, who has been nicknamed the 'Trump of the Tropics'. In the UK Fuks has already garnered media attention with interviews and essays for the likes of The Guardian and BBC World Service Cultural frontline. Already a favourite at Brazos.
