Description

A modern epic on a grand scale, Avalovara is a rich and lyrical novel centered around Abel's courtship of three women. He pursues the sophisticated and inaccessible Roos across Europe; falls in love with Cecilia, a carnal, compassionate hermaphrodite; and achieves a tender, erotic alliance with a woman known only by an ideogram. Avalovara is an extraordinary novel, both in its depiction of modern life and in its rigorous, puzzlelike structure visually represented by a spiral and a five-word palindrome.

Author Biography:

Born in Brazil in 1924, Osman Lins received many literary prizes in his lifetime, including the Coehlo Neto Prize of the Brazilian Academy of Letters. In addition to Avalovara, he wrote five other books, including Nine, Novena and The Queen of the Prisons of Greece.
