Bruna Dantas Lobato recommends

Tailbone (2026)
Che Yeun
"A searing debut by an exceptional writer. Every image here sizzles, every sentence captures a young woman's run for escape with startling precision and vividness. I'm haunted by what it reveals about violence and power."

The Jaguar's Roar (2025)
Micheliny Verunschk
"An ambitious, lyrical excavation of Brazil's colonial history, full of energy and anger. I can still hear it roar, in Barbassa's powerful translation."
