ABOUT THE BOOK
Winner of the Jabuti Award for Brazilian Book Published Abroad 2024
Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle John Leonard Prize 2023
Rio de Janeiro, the 1970s. One hot Brazilian summer, Camilo meets Cosme and the two teenage boys discover a new kind of tenderness. But an act of violence will shatter their intimate world, and change the trajectory of their young lives. At once an incisive exploration of Brazilian society and a tender account of first love, first grief and revenge, The Love of Singular Men is a powerful and exhilarating novel, which sparkles with wit and playful ingenuity throughout.
