Garimpo de almas
Atravessando a velhice, um homem comum acessa suas memórias – reais e fabricadas – para construir um retrato brutal e sincero sobre a experiência da subjetividade humana. A partir da visita de almas não anunciadas, vozes em busca de alguém que as ouça, se constrói essa colcha de retalhos narrativa, em que um homem comporta cem. Em uma prosa moldada pelo fluxo de pensamento, Stepan Nercessian estreia em um romance inventivo sobre memória, amor e morte.

Ainda surpresa que tenha sido uma obra de estreia do autor! Stepan é o legítimo artista. Desde alma até encenações. Mas, em minha opinião, esse foi seu verdadeiro despertar. Linda obra - LINDA escrita!

Esta foi uma das minhas leituras favoritas neste ano. Uma mescla linda de memórias, ficção, filosofia e poesia. Embora eu não curta o tom pessimista do livro, ele me convidou a repensar muitas coisas e enxergar como outras podem ser mudadas. Jamais imaginaria que o autor é estreante, o livro tem tudo para ser um clássico!

I ordered.this.book.as a present and.was delighted to read it.
Stepan Nercessian nailed it: inspired writing, with comic strips that reminded me of Arnaldo Jabor and a good dose of spiritualist-existentialist-apocalyptic (if I made myself clear...)
At first , I laughed a lot with the comic touch that I believed would set the tone of the
book to the end. But then it got too blunt and not funny at all. Finally, the testimonies came in and I started to find it a bit random, even thinking about
give up reading. But at a given moment I understood that the fun was in recognizing the profile of the self-described person and I never stopped reading.
I suggest that anyone who finds it uninteresting skip to page 154 and read the final seven testimonials, then
go back and read everything.
"Garimpo de Almas" : undoubtedly a good gift idea!
