"Over the space of centuries, the exploration and settlement of Brazil inspired a vast body of stories that sought to define the country. Its people, landscapes and history became the focus of an intense gaze that transformed Brazil into a place of myth, a changeling world of mingled beauty and brutality. Cabra is an exploration of the imagination of Brazil. It is a mapping of the topography of myth itself, a poetic investigation of the interplay between the stories of history and the silence of the dispossessed. Perhaps most of all, it is a recognition of how, in writing or speaking about a place, we unavoidably transfigure it, and in that transformation, we discover ourselves."--BOOK JACKET.
