Life in the slums is shadowed by drugs, the constant threat of the police, and the pressures of poverty, violence, and racism, and yet the boys never stop joking, fiending, crushing, and dreaming. In one story, a man has to cross a neighborhood controlled by a rival militia in order to dispose of a corpse. In another, a trio of boys become fascinated by an elderly woman who practices macumba. And in 'TGIF,' a stoner endures humiliating odd jobs, his mother's haranguing, and the regular harrassment of crooked cops. 'The sun on my head' is a work of great tenderness, playfulness, humanity, a collection of stories by a rising star rooted in the community he portrays." -- dust jacket flap. 650 0 $a Police corruption $z Brazil $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Boys $z Brazil $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Slums $z Rio de Janeiro $z Rio de Janeiro $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Sanches, Julia, $e translator. 941 $a 3 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909054104.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806025033.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190621010149.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DACC481693E911E9AA03786997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
