A Volta Por Cima
Seleção de novas criações de Fernando Sabino, sempre realizadas com rigoroso tratamento de ficção. Sabino começa a falar de sua mania de jazz e de como ganhou uma bateria e como se livrou dela de maneira criativa e inesperada para o sossego dos vizinhos. O livro acaba com lições de sabedoria o que pai lhe deixou. Lições simples, com um otimismo capaz de ser motivo de inspiração para o leitor, principalmente se for para dar a volta por cima.

Foi lançado em 1990 e, apesar do título “A volta por cima” lembrar os lançamentos atuais de autoajuda, não é nada disso! É um livro de crônicas! delicioso e rápido de ler. Por vezes deixei a leitura de lado, pois minha vontade era que o livro não acabasse!
É tão bom quanto todas as coletâneas de crônicas que já li do Fernando Sabino, talvez mais engraçado.

Fernando Sabino é uma das minhas grandes fontes de inspiração. Sempre o leio com aquele sorriso de canto de boca.
