On Earth As It Is Beneath by Ana Paula Maia

On Earth As It Is Beneath by Ana Paula Maia

A penal colony surrounded by scrubland where the inmates dig, burn and bury, and where the difference between the guards and the prisoners is mostly a matter of which side of a fence they sleep on.

Maia writes men who do the work nobody wants to look at — slaughterhouse hands, incinerator workers, gravediggers — in flat, brutal, oddly biblical prose. There is almost no plot in the conventional sense; there is heat, labour, sudden violence and a moral weather that never lifts. It is short and it does not let go.

One of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Brazilian fiction, in translation.
