A Cup of Rage

Original language: Portuguese

An intense, erotic novel from Raduan Nassar, one of Brazil's most infamous modernist writers, that explores alienation, domination and submission. Translated by Stefan Tobler.

A pair of lovers - a young female journalist and an older man who owns an isolated farm in the Brazilian outback - spend the night together. The next day they proceed to destroy each other. Amid vitriolic insults, cruelty and warring egos, their sexual adventure turns into a savage power game.
