FROM THE PUBLISHER-A CAPTIVITY OF THE SOUL-Five interlocking tales create a singular, powerful account of a nation in turmoil-and a prophetic warning about an oppressive government's need to control not just the society but the mind. Through symbolism, wry humor, and outrageous sexual frankness, Ivan Angelo tells of businessmen and whores, poor working people and Death Squads, truth and illusion, and the methods of political manipulation and terror. From the gritty, bawdy story of Bete the streetwalker to the Kafkaesque portrait of a prison made of glass, these five fictional pieces glitter with the brilliance of masterful wordplay and shocking truth. as an accomplished storyteller challenges our intelligence and our principles with a monumental work of art. IVAN ANGELO was born in Minas Gerais, Brazil in 1936. He is a professional journalist, managing editor of the Jornal da Tarde, the influential evening daily in Sao Paulo. He has published a collection of short stories, DUAS FACES (TWO SIDES), which won the principal literary prize of his home state and launched his literary career. A second work, THE TOWER OF GLASS, appeared in 1979, and he is now at work on a novel about a Brazilian politician's career. inventory #478.
