"A book of visceral and tender beauty whose echoes persist long after the final page."  --David Mitchell, author of The Bone Clocks A coming of age tale of brutal beauty and disarming tenderness from one of Brazil's most exciting young novelists, an author writing in the footsteps of "Roberto Bolaño, Jim Harrison, the Coen brothers and...Denis Johnson" (The New York Times) A young man wakes up at dawn to drive to the Andes, to climb the Cerro Bonete--a mountain untouched by ice axes and climbers, one of the planet's final mountains to be conquered--as an act of heroic bravado, or foolishness. But instead, he finds himself dragged, by the undertow of memory, to Esplanada, the neighborhood he grew up in, to the brotherhood of his old friends, and to the clearing in the woods where he witnessed an act that has run like a scar through the rest of his life. Back in Esplanada, the young man revisits his initiation into adulthood and recalls his boyhood friends who formed a strange and volatile pack. Together they play video games, get drunk around bonfires, pick fights, and goad each other into bike races where the winner is the boy who has the most spectacular crash. Caught between the threat of not being man enough, the desire to please his friends, and the intoxicating contact-high of danger, the boy finds himself following the rules of the pack even as the risks mount. And in a moment that reverberates and repeats itself in new ways in his adulthood, his fantasies of who he is and what it means to be a man come crashing down, and life asserts itself as an endless rehearsal for a heroic moment that may never arrive. From one of Brazil's most dazzling writers, The Shape of Bones is an exhilarating story of mythic power. Daniel Galera has written a pulse-racing novel with the otherworldly wisdom of a parable.… (plus d'informations)

A epígrafe do Nicolas Cage que abre o livro é apropriada. O romance lembra o roteiro de um coming of age movie, estrelado pelo Nicolas Cage, aquele cara que podia ser muito bom, mas nunca chega lá. ( )

I just could not get into this book. The writing wasn't bad, it just didn't pull me into the story and grab my attention. I felt more like I needed to read it because I got it from Penguin Random House First to Read Program but I just can't do it. I have way too many books to spend time on one that doesn't distract me and pull me into the lives of the characters. ( )

The description of The Shape of Bones by Daniel Galera, if you notice, very carefully names no characters. That is both the foundation and the confusion of this story. The connection between the past and present takes a while to understand. After that point, though, the book settles into the story. The power of the story is in the last few chapters where intensity and emotion does start to build and the secret moment of the past is finally revealed.

Reviewed for Penguin First to Read program. ( )

Cette critique a été rédigée par l'auteur .
"O romance parte de uma bem bolada configuração narrativa, na qual histórias aparentemente independentes correm paralelas, para, aos poucos, irem se imbricando: o Ciclista Urbano ganha velocidade na sua ´antiquada porém feroz Caloi Cross aro 20 com freio de pé´, um adolescente classe-média-baixa anda aos encontrões com os amigos (e a vida), um cirurgião plástico bem-sucedido planeja escalar um cerro boliviano. Tudo culmina em um não saber-se quem se é, uma sobreposição de identidades, acompanhada pela melancólica constatação de que jamais seremos alguém além de nós mesmos. (...) Galera (...) conduz o seu leitor por uma Porto Alegre próxima e distante, em que se percorre a nova perimetral, de Petrópolis até a Zona Sul. Mais ou menos como um road movie que não sai do lugar."
(Eduardo Veras, Zero Hora)

"Em hábil trama, a ecoar tensão emocional com frases curtas, incisivas e pouco adjetivadas, produzindo reverberações infinitas de uma mesma matriz, Galera monta o duelo de um homem com seu medo. É o medo que favorece as construções prismáticas, fazendo com que a obra avance à medida que se voltam páginas. A obra, na verdade, acontece recuando."
(Fabrício Carpinejar, O Estado de São Paulo)

"Dividindo a obra em duas partes que caminham simultaneamente, Galera entrelaça, com rara habilidade, a narrativa memorialística sobre um grupo de adolescentes de Porto Alegre (...) com o relato de um dia na vida de Hermano, um médico de sucesso. E tudo isso é conduzido por uma prosa marcadamente individual, que diferencia o autor como um dos melhores contadores de história da nova geração."
(Beatriz Resende, Revista Veja)

"Como é bem dito na orelha do livro, nenhum trecho da narrativa é gratuito. Uma simples partida de videogame mostra-se como uma profunda experiência de formação de personalidade. A experiência do protagonista de ter vivido tudo isso começa a lhe mostrar qual caminho trilhar, ou melhor, como trilhar esse caminho; o que ele pode jogar fora e excluir de sua vida, concentrando-se no difícil desafio que é compreender quem ele realmente é. Apesar do tom pouco otimista, é uma visão de quem olha em direção a uma felicidade bem mais ampla e sólida."
(Renato Parada, Samjaquimsatva)

"O que se vê é o domínio de uma arte eficiente de narrar, que passa da leveza cômica e polifônica dos diálogos dos adolescentes subindo um pequeno morro ao lado do condomínio à expressão máxima de terror do parto da filha do protagonista."
(Rodrigo Barradas, UOL Diversão e Arte)
