Passageiro do Fim do Dia

Pedro goes to Rosane's every weekend, a long ride out to a neighbourhood where brutality and injustice simmer constantly. The novel takes place inside his head during one such trip. Earphone in, a book open now and then, he notices passengers and streets and links them, almost unawares, with episodes from his past and the people he cares for. By the last stop these strands have woven a sharper understanding of the society he lives in, though it offers him no way out of the fate it reserves for people like him.
