With a language unprecedented in its genre, the work presents a conversation between the two authors about illnesses of the soul, such as melancholy, envy, guilt, as well as the mythical power of the doctor, the healing power of words and the question of happiness, which, as Guimarães Rosa says, seems to be “a rare moment of distraction”. A fluid and inspiring read, essential for those who like to pause from time to time to reflect on life’s big and small questions.
