Encontro Em Samarra

As a column too sarcastic to be in newspapers, Encontros em Samarra (meetings in Samarra) uses the abundant material that are a community’s petty arguments, to portray the big from the small. While describing mainly the rich world and its peculiarities, the book is also a dive in the mud of the daily life of low and middle classes: dreaming housewives, bad husbands, prejudices, gossip and upstarts.
