"I wanted to render the beauty of her words, of our beloved Portuguese language, and the power of her storytelling into this other language I also call mine."—Ilze Duarte, translator of THE BOOK OF AFFECTS https://buff.ly/4dxkqtG @SundialHouse @TranlsateMonth @LitTranslate #ReadTheWorld #WITMonth

"In The Book of Affects, Arnaud's characters struggle with the impossibility of finding authentic communication, turning instead to what is most alien or abject and, thus, fascinating. Her stories are both disturbing and compelling, and Ilze Duarte's excellent translation skillfully recreates that fine balance." Cristina Pinto-Bailey, translator of Ursula by Maria Firmina dos Reis

Marilia Arnaud’s stories are a reverie into all things love—the familiar and the carnal, the celebrated and the forbidden. These lyrical vignettes into many intimate lives are handled deftly by translator Ilze Duarte, whose own poetic talents shine through in each sentence. The Book of Affects is a welcome addition to translations of Brazilian literature. DeMisty Bellinger, author of All Daughters Are Awesome Everywhere and New to Liberty

"The Book of Affects begins with a call to listen. Through Duarte’s intuitive translation, readers should do exactly that: listen. Duarte guides nine short stories from the original Portuguese to English with brushstrokes of both languages. Her translation becomes a conversation between two contemporary artists, both with their own individual ties to Brazil and unique voices. Entrusted with this translation, Duarte honors Arnaud’s words and vision, love of a country, culture, and people." Amy Cipolla Barnes, author of Child Craft.

Sex, desire, betrayal, and murder populate the nine engrossing stories of Marilia Arnaud’s new collection, The Book of Affects, translated by Ilze Duarte. The stories revolve around unreliable narrators who lie, cheat, and try to justify themselves, in fascinating portraits of the way we lie to ourselves to keep living. Using acute psychological realism, this book explores the way our fates are often out of our hands and our reason is overcome by our passions. --Andrew Bertaina, author of The Body is a Temporary Gathering Place
