The Impostor
Edgard Telles Ribeiro - Paperback
£12.99
Edgard Telles Ribeiro spent a peripatetic childhood in Marseille and other European ports of call determined by his father’s diplomatic postings. Eventually he returned to Brazil, where he worked as a journalist, filmmaker, and professor of film studies before entering the foreign service. His novels and short-story collections have garnered some of Brazil’s most important literary prizes, including the Jabuti Prize (twice), the Brazilian Academy of Letters Prize, and, for His Own Man, the Brazilian PEN Prize. He currently divides his time between New York and Rio de Janeiro. Kim M. Hastings lived in São Paulo for several years, studied Brazilian language and literature at Brown University, and received a PhD in Spanish and Portuguese from Yale. She is a freelance editor and translator, and has worked with a number of Brazilian writers.
