As Brazil's acclaimed short-story chronicler of lower-class mores and popular dramas, Dalton Trevisan infuses his twenty-second publication with twenty-two narratives of blood-soaked violence, primarily the domestic kind frequently splashed across lurid tabloids that sensationalize the conjugal warfare between oppressive husbands and oppressed wives.
