In 'Apprentice of Homer', Nélida Piñon offers a master class in literature, conveying to readers a deep passion for writing. Through twenty-four essays, the author reflects on her literary influences and the characters that have most marked her, such as Don Quixote and Ulysses. Piñon shares her vision on writing, reading, and women, both in the Brazilian context and throughout history. Without reservations, she presents herself as an apprentice, not only of Homer, but also of Machado de Assis, Monteiro Lobato, and Cervantes, exploring the recreation of the world through narrative.
Nélida Piñon was a Brazilian author and professor. At the time of her death, Piñon was "considered among the foremost writers in Brazil today".
