Par Padgett Powell. 2012
Padgett Powell, author of the acclaimed The Interrogative Mood and “one of the few truly important American writers of our…
time” (Sam Lipsyte), returns with a hilarious Southern send-up of Samuel Beckett’s classic Waiting for Godot. Truly a master of envelope-pushing, post-postmodern American fiction, in a class with Nicholas Baker and Lydia Davis, Powell brilliantly blends the sublime, the trivial, and the oddball in You & Me, as two loquacious gents on a porch discuss all manner of subjects, from the mundane to the spiritual to the downright ridiculous. At once outrageously funny and profound, You & Me is yet another brilliant, boundary-bursting masterwork, proving once again that, “there are few writers who understand both the beauty and the absurdity of language as well as Padgett Powell” (Kevin Wilson, author of The Family Fang) and that, “Padgett Powell is one of the best writers in America, and one of the funniest, tNotes From Underground

Ana, una adolescente que sueña en ser actriz, se ve envuelta en un complot donde el fantasma de una bailarina del siglo diecinueve, quien pasa a contactarla primero para contarle su historia, no parece corresponder con los hechos relatados por otro fantasma, supuestamente su amante y posible asesino en serie, y que también se le aparece para insertarse en su mundo por estar involucrado en el mismo caso. Ella espera resolver el asunto lo más rápido posible, antes de que ellos la devoren o la envuelvan aun más en su maraña de malos entendidos, o que ella comience a dejar de creer en lo que perciben sus propios oídos y se pierda en el camino de su propia absolución atada en un desequilibrio emocional que al principio revela una línea ancestral difícil de recorrer. Para eso ella necesita de todo su coraje para así encontrar la heroína que hay dentro de sus venas, encarando su propia suerte... a la propia muerte.

Par Morris Panych. 2015
In this riotously funny new comedy from Morris Panych, we meet Alma, a seasoned career shoplifter who prefers the five-finger…
discount over some lousy seniors' day deal. But it's not just an empty wallet that leads Alma to a life of petty crime - it's also her strong convictions about social justice and economic inequality.Along for the ride is Phyllis, Alma's frazzled accomplice who lacks her mentor's cool demeanour and snappy comebacks. It's Alma who does the talking when the pair is apprehended at the grocery store by Dom, an overzealous rookie security guard. Guided by the strictness of his born-again Christian belief, Dom is ready to handcuff the culprits and call the police, but his affable senior partner, Otto, intervenes with a more sympathetic view of the crime: "It's just a couple a steaks." As Alma, Phyllis, Dom, and Otto share their wildly different takes on the situation, complex views on morality and ethics begin to emerge.With its cast of oddball characters, Panych's comedy offers biting observations about society's haves and have-nots and how much they might actually have in common.Cast of 2 women and 2 men.Frambuesas ao Amanhecer

Par Wallace Shawn. 2009
"Among living American writers for the theater today, Wallace Shawn is among the most respected by his peers and championed…
by serious critics."--Don Shewey"The play is bound to delve further into the world that Shawn began to explore so precipitously nearly thirty-five years ago: one filled with ideas, wherein the action is the domestication of cruelty."--The New YorkerGrasses of a Thousand Colors is a poetic epic that tells the story of a scientist (Ben), his wife (Cerise), and his two mistresses (Robin and Rose), as they fend for their lives in a world much like ours, yet one savagely close to extinction. Due to the scientific manipulation of the world's crops, a destructive system for which Ben is partly responsible, there is very little nourishment left to be had, except for those most privileged and connected. Despite the dying off of most of the world, these characters manage to survive, at times tasting the good life, admiring the beauties of nature, feasting on animalistic sex, and finding love. The play raises issues of redemption, forgiveness, and responsibility as it recounts a somewhat passionate, erotic adventure story.Wallace Shawn is the author of Our Late Night (winner of the OBIE Award for Best Play), Marie and Bruce, Aunt Dan and Lemon, The Designated Mourner, The Fever, and the screenplay for My Dinner with Andre, in which he starred. Grasses of a Thousand Colors, Shawn's first full-length play in ten years, will be produced in the United Kingdom and the United States in 2009. Shawn is a well-known film and television actor. He resides in New York City.Handicap

When Thom finds a murdered body on the golf course, he can't rest until he solves the mystery of the…
heinous crime. And the cast of characters he meets along the way is anything but comforting.Thom hates standing just four-foot-seven (and a half!). After watching his mother bleed to death from a knife stuck through her heart, he runs away and lands in backwards backwoods Florida. There, he becomes an expert golfer. This is no small feat, and one he credits to his short game. Thom only golfs alone. It's where he escapes the scorn and ignorance of others. The course is Thom's World. Until, that is, he discovers a woman's bloody corpse on number two-stabbed through the heart. Then Thom's World becomes a black tunnel of terror and guilt. He can't even raise a club without collapsing in panic. Thom must solve the murder not only to escape suspicion, but especially to reclaim his glorious solitude. This, however, finally forces him to open up to others: like Dyleane, who sees Thom for what he is on the inside; Jade, the ample proprietor of a cafe and whorehouse; Father C, a chain-smoking priest with a pitiful toupee; and others still, who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets buried.Human Catastrophe
Par Luiz Cláudio Avallone Belo. 2018
A huge human being. A mysterious research and its side effects. Which chain reaction could it cause in the lives…
of scientists, in the victim of this research, and in the invisible humanity to eyes of a giant? Creative and lively this novel brings together drama, catastrophe and science.

Armado Bastos, a ambitious and prejudiced military and scientist which involves his youth friend in a project to the development of a powerful weapon. Sandro, Alda, Fábio and Estela: four scientists who barely know that their project is being used for a parallel purpose.Brothers in Blood (Zaq & Jags)
