AÌlvaro lives alone and bemoans the evils of his ex-wife. SiÌlvio can't give up the excesses of sex and drugs. Ribeiro is a vain, Viagra-abusing beach bum. Neto is the square, a faithful husband until the end. Ciro is the Don Juan envied by all--but the first to die. Cutting in on these swan songs are the testimonies of those the men seduced, cheated, loved, and abandoned: their wives and children. Edgy, funny, and wise, The End is a candid tropical tragicomedy and an epitaph for a lost generation of machos."--Amazon.com. 546 $a Translated from the Portuguese. 651 0 $a Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Death $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Entrekin, Alison, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200505014547.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B0D2936AA80111E7B9D4614397128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
