CANÇÃO PARA NINAR MENINO GRANDE

This is a heartfelt mosaic of Black experiences — a loving and painful song. Through the character Fio Jasmim, Conceição masterfully explores the contradictions and complexities surrounding Black masculinity and its effects on relationships with Black women. The book is a deep dive into the poetics of escrevivência — the act of writing lived experience — and at the same time a tribute to love from a perspective rarely seen in Brazilian literature.
