In her first foray into the autobiographical essay, the novelist and poet Adriana Lisboa starts from the event of the death of her parents (she in 2014, he in 2021) and follows a path of reflections around finitude and mourning, which also means around life and mystery, memory and love. In this first-person crossing, we walk with her through different landscapes: the trees of the Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro, the lyrics of other authors, the family memories ela - the inside and the outside in friction and without intermediaries. In her own words: "The revolving door of the world. Carnival, Día de muertos , procession, temple, forest, skyscraper. The banana and a good-bye"-- online translation from publishers' site.
