Summary

From celebrated novelist Ana Paula Maia come two razor-sharp, disquieting stories of life in a rapidly urbanizing Brazil.

"Spore" follows hard-working Rosália, a manicurist who has built herself a solid reputation and is trusted by her wealthy clients; that is, until she unexpectedly discovers her own dark side. Now she will have to go to great lengths to hide her twisted urges.

The title character of "Unruly Roger" arrives at his government job one day to find that he has been fired, without reason, after decades of service. As his sudden unemployment plunges him into hopelessness and friends are nowhere to be found, he embarks on his own adventure and joins the disillusioned masses who congregate on the city streets.

These two stark, unsettling tales paint a vivid picture of the lost souls in a sprawling and quickly transforming society.
