«Estorvo» is the novel by Brazilian writer Chico Buarque, published by Dom Quixote in paperback (119 pages, in Portuguese).
In the first person, a narrator moves through his surroundings and encounters people and scenes that are at once familiar and disconcerting. Between sleep and wakefulness, his obsessive journey becomes a chronicle of unease and a metaphor for Brazil and the contemporary world. The prose moves between lyricism and the dreamlike.
The novel was originally published in 1991 and received the Prêmio Jabuti in 1992 in the Livro do Ano Ficção category. The paperback edition from Dom Quixote dates from 2001.
For readers of Brazilian literature and of short narrative with a dreamlike atmosphere.
Francisco Buarque de Hollanda, popularly known as Chico Buarque, is a Brazilian singer-songwriter, guitarist, composer, playwright, writer, and poet. He is best known for his music, which often includes social, economic, and cultural reflections on Brazil.
