He is ruthless in his exploitation of his fellow man, but when he makes a match with a fine young woman, he is surprised to discover that this latest acquisition, as he sees it, may be somewhat harder to handle. It is in Paulo Honório’s own rough-hewn voice that the great Brazilian writer Graciliano Ramos, often compared to William Faulkner, tells this gritty and dryly funny story of triumph and comeuppance, a tour de force of the writer’s art that is beautifully captured in Padma Viswanathan’s new translation.","brand":"Graciliano Ramos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":48035658072276,"sku":"9781681373850","price":21.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_e420dc82-d8a3-4ead-bc79-f7122e06c4c0.jpg?v=1780366984","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9781681373850","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
