Luis Fernando Verissimo's <I>The Club of Angels</I> is an irresistible, enticing book&#151;almost as irresistible and enticing as the exquisite meals prepared within&#151;about the sin of gluttony. Written by one of Brazil's leading authors and columnists, <I>The Club of Angels</I> was an immediate success there, and has been on the bestseller list since 1998. It tells the story of ten privileged men, who meet every month to dine fabulously and celebrate their friendship and singularity. When their leader, Ramos, dies of AIDS, the narrator Daniel meets his possible replacement&#151;Lucido&#151;in a wineshop. Lucido is mysteriously taciturn, but in the privacy of Daniel's kitchen, he recreates the men's favorite dishes, giving them a gastronomic experience like no other. The tale of bewilderment and death that follows creates an unforgettable literary experience. It is tinged with funny characters, witty dialogue, touching with mordant satire on all segments of Brazilian society. <I>The Club of Angels</I> has been translated into English by the renowned Margaret Jull Costa (translator of José Saramago, Paulo Coelho, Javier Marías, and Arturo Perez-Reverte). 610951 2001 The Club of Angels total:65|5:20|4:23|3:16|2:5|1:1| 65 251 95 6 4 1 false false Thu Dec 06 15:59:53 -0800 2007 Fri Apr 11 15:28:42 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Jan 15 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 14 18:20:44 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 15 16:00:15 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Aug 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 20:14:42 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 22:16:56 -0700 2009 2009#53
