With the town of Araraquara standing in for Brazil as a whole, this novel mines the same vein of national malaise, censorship, ecocide and societal control as the other two I’ve read by Brandão — And Still the Earth (original title Não verás país nenhum) and Zero. With the former it shares the counterpoint narrative of the author’s disintegrated marriage, and with both, the observational humour and wild gyrations of style. But it’s not as fluent as those, being the patchworked memoirs and hallucinations of a bona-fide madman, and it’s often hard to know or care what the hell is going on. Still, some of the elegiac domestic moments are touching and the climactic crackup is as good as any I’ve read. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
A modern-day Don Quixote and an exile in his own hometown, the protagonist of Teeth Under the Sun is kept from writing by a conspiracy (real? imagined?) designed to prevent him from revealing the truth about the town's strange status quo and violent past.In a place where people have abandoned their houses for tiny apartments in the confines of new high-rises, the narrator walks the almost empty streets, remembering better times and meeting figures from his past: his ex-wife, his son, writers, friends, and revolutionaries. And all of this is interspersed with his memories of the movies Fact and fiction, past and present, all meet in this story of the narrator's attempts to engage more fully with a modern world forcing him into isolation.
