At Night When He Went to Sleep Earlier — John Gabriel

A collection of short stories, vignettes and very short pieces, most of them set in small towns in the interior of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, in the 1950s, 60s and 70s about a society that doesn't exist anymore. Their subject is nostalgia. Written in realistic style with a touch of the romantic, fast moving pace, remarkable atmosphere and characterization, these are tales of love, betrayal, violence and fantasy.
