This anthology of noir fiction set in São Paulo, Brazil, “might be the strongest entry yet in the long-running and globe-spanning Akashic Noir series” (San Francisco Book Review). Once known as the Land of Mist, São Paulo is now a dense, diverse, and globalized metropolis. It is the most populous city in the Americas, the Portuguese-speaking world, and the southern hemisphere—with some of the worst traffic on the planet. From its gleaming skyscrapers to its historic downtown and its rough, drug-infested outskirts, this unique anthology explores a truly unique city with “a timely feel, giving noir a host of feminine faces” (Kirkus). São Paulo Noir includes fourteen brand-new stories by Tony Bellotto, Olivia Maia, Marcelino Freire, Beatriz Bracher & Maria S. Carvalhosa, Fernando Bonassi, Marcelo Rubens Paiva, Marçal Aquino, Jô Soares, Mario Prata, Ferréz, Vanessa Barbara, Ilana Casoy, and Drauzio Varella.

Nesta coletânea de dezessete contos, despretensiosamente, passeio com meus personagens, aonde o imaginário me conduzir. Muito custou colocar cada cria fora de casa, o medo natural de ganhar o mundo. Outras precisam chegar. Longe estou de habitar as terras de Macondo do grande Gabriel, muito menos de ensaiar a cegueira e as loucuras do genial Saramago. Simplesmente gosto da liberdade do surreal, onde posso ter a onipotência dos deuses, que me permitem emprestar minhas ideias e caneta ao Juca — meu cão, permitindo àquele “Adorável ranzinza” lançar sua autobiografia póstuma não autorizada; incentivo nas “Retrospectivas” o amor e o prazer de um casal quase octogenário; em “Tenro” enveredo pela corrida de um espermatozoide chegando e fecundando o pódio, sem aplausos nem aconchego; ousado, tomo o lugar do Gabriel García Márquez nos contos que ele gostaria de haver escrito, ao descrever os labirintos de um sonho, no “Imaginário”, são vários os corpos visitados. Como se buscasse oxigênio, volto ao real da superfície indo ou (não) ao “Casamento”, contraceno uma “Peça inacabada”, separo casais numa “Manhã de dezembro” e participo do “Crime da Rua do Gás”. Brincando com realidade e ficção. Voltemos à segurança da Terra do Nunca, aonde chego em plena Conferência Nacional dos Anjos do Brasil, que decidirá nosso prazo de validade, com “Fim de mundo”; visito também a Comunidade LGBT... (em alguns contos), em que promovo a separação de um casamento de duas senhoras com setenta anos em “Inexorável traição”; no “Contraditório” extrapolo meu direito de ampla defesa, para provar minha sanidade deixada pelo Alzheimer, e amparado nele mato alguns personagens de outros contos, além de brincar com a minha sombra, ufa! Ao final, assistindo de camarote a uma confusão, entendi a necessidade de encerrar o livro com “O bate-boca”, briga boba da Vida com a Morte. Confiram, capaz de ter muito mais.

An exploration of how we see, use, and make sense of modern video game worlds. The move to 3D graphics represents a dramatic artistic and technical development in the history of video games that suggests an overall transformation of games as media. The experience of space has become a key element of how we understand games and how we play them. In Video Game Spaces, Michael Nitsche investigates what this shift means for video game design and analysis. Navigable 3D spaces allow us to crawl, jump, fly, or even teleport through fictional worlds that come to life in our imagination. We encounter these spaces through a combination of perception and interaction. Drawing on concepts from literary studies, architecture, and cinema, Nitsche argues that game spaces can evoke narratives because the player is interpreting them in order to engage with them. Consequently, Nitsche approaches game spaces not as pure visual spectacles but as meaningful virtual locations. His argument investigates what structures are at work in these locations, proceeds to an in-depth analysis of the audiovisual presentation of gameworlds, and ultimately explores how we use and comprehend their functionality. Nitsche introduces five analytical layers—rule-based space, mediated space, fictional space, play space, and social space—and uses them in the analyses of games that range from early classics to recent titles. He revisits current topics in game research, including narrative, rules, and play, from this new perspective. Video Game Spaces provides a range of necessary arguments and tools for media scholars, designers, and game researchers with an interest in 3D game worlds and the new challenges they pose.

Through this translation of As Três Marias the literary achievements of Rachel de Queiroz may at last be judged and appreciated by the English-reading public. Since none of her four novels has previously been translated into English, The Three Marias will be, for many non-Brazilians, an introduction to this nationally known South American author whose books have been widely praised for their artistic merits. Her literary works are colored by her projected personality, by an intense feeling for her own people, by an omnipresent social consciousness, and by personal experiences in the arid backlands of her native state of Ceará. Basing this story on certain of her own recollections from the nineteen-twenties, Rachel de Queiroz tells of a girl growing up in the seaport town of Fortaleza, in northeastern Brazil. Fred P. Ellison, whose special field is Brazilian and Spanish-American literature, has captured in his translation the author's graceful style and simplicity of language, and has successfully retained the perspective of an idealistic and gradually maturing girl.
