Reviews

'This volume of essays represents a welcome reappraisal of the works of a Brazilian writer whose innovative portrayals of poverty, social inequality, small-town life and economic migration are still surprising and relevant, more than fifty years after they were first published.'- Dr Claire Williams, University of Oxford; 'Not before time, a collection of essays by some of the best-known scholars in Brazilian Studies, writing about one of Brazil's greatest writers. A valuable addition to Graciliano Ramos's bibliography in English or any language, for academics and students alike.'- Professor M. M. Lisboa, University of Cambridge
