With The Gods of Raquel, Moacyr Scliar continues his prestige as a fiction writer of the absurd and the fantastic. These are characteristics that, with each new book, confirm his position as one of the greatest Brazilian writers of this genre.
Scliar’s confident and daring style compels readers to become increasingly involved with the pages of the book as it reaches its conclusion. And then, an unexpected, shocking ending gives readers the very feeling of loneliness and helplessness that characterize Raquel’s incredible life.
