Delicioso mergulho na história de Fernando Sabino. Explicações que passam por diferentes pontos da trajetória do autor, rememorando suas amizades, virtudes e desejos. É uma conversa de bar: íntima e irreverente.

gostei do livro...mas depois achei que ficou cansativo...ele cita nomes e nomes e mais nomes..que eu não me interessava por eu não ter vivido aquela época...

Esse é um livro dos mais interessantes porque Sabino meio que usa a crônica para fazer a sua autobiografia. É muito legal, por exemplo, vê-lo comentando sobre os autores de quem gostava.
