The Carnivalesque Defunto explores the representations of death and the dead in Brazil’s collective and literary imagination.

Trade Review
“In unearthing Brazil’s complex relationship with its past, some defuntos bring reconciliation and renewal to their communities; other do not. Either way, the otherworldly figures offer persistent critiques from the perspective of a not-so-dead past.” * CHOICE *
