Bufo & Spallanzani (Rubem Fonseca) (Rubem Fonseca)
A story in which the novel is being written. Delfina Delamare, killed with a gunshot to the chest, supposedly murdered, has a lover. And the motto is: who killed Delfina?
Rubem Fonseca, Camões prize winner, had the distinction of having worked in the Rio de Janeiro Police. If we add to this his literary flair and his ease in writing about violence and social inequalities, we come across a story that grabs the reader and doesn't let him escape. A book that deserves to be read.
