Feliz ano velho
Synopsis
Marcelo Rubens Paiva's autobiographical novel recounts the life-altering accident that left him in a wheelchair at age twenty. Far from a simple account of pain, this book captures the spirit of a generation experiencing Brazil's military government opening up and the dream of redemocratization in the late 1970s. Paiva's distinctive humor keeps the story from melodrama, making it a powerful and enduring read even forty years later.
