Fiction
My old guerrilla
by Álvaro Filho
Description
A narrative full of time, memories on the shoulders, rusty bodies smelling of sea air, a testimony of uncertain memories of stories. The novel 'My old guerrilla' tells the story of a exiled writer abroad who returns to hometown (Olinda), mother's request, to try to dissuade the father of the idea of killing the president, who took power after a coup. Alvaro Filho teaches us that we must "silence to hear the wind," time to understand the affection of places and things, calmly swallowing discomfort, and wisdom to understand our ancestry. 'My old guerrilla' is like a reef solid melts into air, and the wind sweeping "flesh, bone, blood, paper and ink."
