Brazilian author Geovani Martins presents a slice of life from the poor side of Rio in The Sun on My Head.
Martins offers roughly a dozen short stories featuring low-level drug dealers, street hustlers, troubled youths, and crooked cops, set against a vibrant neighborhood background. It is written from a culture and set of experiences I was unfamiliar with, but is written with energy and wit and is engaging throughout.
This debut collection from Martins has already made a big splash for the author, and I am interested to see what he comes up with next. I checked this out from the Morrisson-Reeves Public Library in Richmond, Indiana and read it quickly.
