Menos que Um

Vendors, parking hustlers, the jobless, drunks, petty thieves, addicts and scavengers fill the book. Chilves, Black, barely schooled and raised on a garbage tip, covers miles a day gathering recyclables and means to lead an uprising as the 'Humble Teacher of the Truth'. Jéssica, a pregnant teenager hooked on crack, is searching for her mother; Glenda insists on living as herself rather than as Weverton; Zélia, unhinged by grief, sleeps among graves and wants revenge on the man who killed her son. All of them, however invisible, still have dreams.
