Paulo Lins,Alison Entrekin
The searing novel on which the internationally acclaimed hit film was based, ,City of God, is a gritty, gorgeous tour de force from the Brazilian street. Cicade de Deus, the City of God, is one of Rio's most notorious slums. Yet it is also a place where samba rocks till dawn, where the women are the most beautiful on earth, and where one young man wants to escape his background and become a photographer. ,City of God, is a sprawling, magnificently told epic about gang life in Rio's ,favelas,, based on years of research and Pualo Lins's firsthand experience growing up in Cicade de Deus. A book that gives voice to the dispossessed of multiethnic Brazil, ,City of God, will earn Paulo Lins more well-deserved international acclaim.
