Saira Viola
“A Harvey Nicks chick with throwaway morals and a trustfund appetite.”
― Saira Viola, Slide, a Modern Satire on the Excess of Greed

Mário-Henrique Leiria
“Uma nêspera
estava na cama
deitada
muito calada
a ver
o que acontecia

chegou a Velha
e disse
olha uma nêspera
e zás comeu-a

é o que acontece
às nêsperas
que ficam deitadas
caladas
a esperar
o que acontece.”
― Mário Henrique Leiria, Novos Contos do Gin
