From the supplier: Osman Lins' 'Nine, Novena' has narratives that use multiple perspectives and different planes of action. In "Hanh's Pentagon" and "Lost and Found," structural unity is achieved through a single theme that pulls the stories together into a complete whole and all the different perspectives converge to a single point. The resulting figure is that of a pentagon, the geometrical figure of a classical composition. Understanding the formal structure is clarified by musical terminologies: the shifts in perspectives are the variations upon a theme, human experience the registers and the characters are the keys and the instruments.

From the supplier: The writer's struggle to live is perennial and almost universal, especially in countries suffering from political, economic and cultural crisis such as Brazil. For Osman Lins, the alternative for writers is to have a job that has nothing to do with writing, such as farming, instead of one which would just be a simulacrum to literature. For him, the greater struggle lies in the act of writing, of finding the right words, the cadence and the rhythm of the sentence which would fulfill the sought-for measure. Society has the responsibility to create conditions in which creative people need only worry about their creative output.
