Beatriz Bracher
was born in São Paulo in 1961 and grew up under the Brazilian military dictatorship. Her memories of that time intersect with the lives of people whose friends and lovers were tortured, exiled, and killed, as well as with those who did the killing.
Antonio
by Beatriz Bracher, translated from the Portuguese by Adam MorrisWhenever anyone asked him how many siblings he had, Teo would say, “there are five of us, but one died.” If this confused whoever asked, Teo would only shake his head and say: “I never met him. He was the eldest and died when he was a baby.”
