Synopsis "Winning the Game and Other Stories: Volume 1"

In these seventeen stories by one of Brazil's foremost living authors, Fonseca introduces readers--with unsurpassed candor and keenness of observation--to a kaleidoscopic, often disturbing world. A hunchback sets his lascivious sights on seducing a beautiful woman. A wealthy businessman hires a ghost writer, with unexpected results. A family of modern-day urban cannibals celebrates a bizarre rite of passage. A man roams the nocturnal streets of Rio de Janeiro in search of meaning. A male ex-police reporter writes an advice column under a female pseudonym. A prosperous entrepreneur picks up a beautiful girl in his Mercedes only to discover his costly mistake. A loser elaborates a lethal plan to become, in his mind, a winner.

Uno de los escritores más sobresalientes de Brasil de los últimos tiempos. Su narrativa, con un estilo agudo y mordaz, le ha valido innumerables distinciones: el Premio Camões (el más importante en lengua portuguesa), el Premio Konex Mercosur a las Letras, el Premio de Literatura Latinoamericana y del Caribe Juan Rulfo, y el Premio Iberoamericano de Narrativa Manuel Rojas, entre otros.

El tratamiento de la crueldad, las situaciones corrosivas en las que ubica a sus personajes y los giros de humor son sellos característicos dentro de su obra, un estilo que ha marcado pauta para más de una generación de escritores. La obra de Fonseca ha sido traducida a múltiples idiomas, y se lo considera uno de los referentes obligados de la novela y el cuento policiaco.
