Synopsis "Diário de um Fescenino (in Portuguese)"

“Os japoneses têm um provérbio: o sujeito começa a envelhecer quando não quer mais aprender. Meu provérbio é que o sujeito começa a envelhecer quando não quer mais amar, quando perde o entusiasmo pela comunhão sexual, não tem mais coragem de enfrentar a incandescência, os refinamentos eróticos e também as desilusões, aflições e a logística exasperante da aventura amorosa. É preciso, como afirma Don Juan do Molière, manter um olhar atento para os méritos de todas as mulheres, render homenagem a cada uma e pagar a cada uma o tributo a que nos obriga a natureza.”

Rubem Fonseca (Juiz de Fora, Brazil, May 11, 1925 – Rio de Janeiro, April 15, 2020) was one of the most influential writers and screenwriters in contemporary Brazilian literature. Considered a major renovator of narrative in Portuguese, his direct, raw, and uncompromising style masterfully portrayed urban violence, marginality, and the social contradictions of modern Brazil. Before dedicating himself entirely to literature, Fonseca worked as a lawyer and police commissioner in Rio de Janeiro, experiences that deeply marked his work and allowed him to explore human complexity from a unique perspective.

He debuted in 1963 with The Prisoners and gained international notoriety with titles such as Happy New Year, The Collector, The Morel Case, High Art, August, Bufo & Spallanzani, and Vast Emotions and Imperfect Thoughts. His work, essential for dirty realism and Latin American crime literature, has been translated into numerous languages and adapted into films. Fonseca received notable literary awards, including the Camões Prize (2003), the Juan Rulfo Prize (2003), and the Ibero-American Narrative Manuel Rojas Prize (2012), consolidating his legacy as an indispensable reference in Portuguese-language literature.
