Pickpick

This dystopian Brazilian novel of a future Sao Paolo was written in the 1970‘s or 80‘s, I think, but it‘s absolutely chillingly conemporary, and makes 1984 look like child‘s make believe. Enter a world ravaged by climate change and unfettered environmental pollution and disaster. The rainforest is gone and is now the world‘s 9th wonder, a desert larger than the Sahara. And all governed by multinationals and “self-enrichers.” #foodandlit #Brazil

batsy Oof. So close to home. Sounds well worth reading, I just have to prepare myself for it... 3y
Butterfinger Yay! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It is so sad to know what we are doing to these wonders (forests). 3y

#foodandlit #Brazil Here are a few of the books off my shelf from Brazil. I have others as well as several on my Kindle, including the tagged book, a near-future dystopian. I will try to read a few, but will in reality probably only get to 2 at most. Most likely, the Amado and Lispector or And Still the Earth. But I also really want to read the 2 by Donoso, which have been on my shelf for years. They‘re long tho‘ & I‘m ‘overbooked‘ for January!

bnp I hear you Deborah. I'm also overbooked, so will be c inventing myself with a few stories from Lispector's collection. 3y
vivastory I read the Donoso many many years ago, like 15 years, & still think about it. 3y
Leftcoastzen Nice! 3y
