Monólogo de um transeunte

Abstract

Monologue of a Passerby by João Lyra Filho is a remarkable addition to the Paraíba Literária collection. This collection of short stories offers an intimate and insightful look at urban life. Each story is an interior monologue, a window into the protagonist’s thoughts and feelings as he or she navigates the city. Lyra Filho has a unique ability to capture the essence of human experience in his stories, making them both universal and deeply personal. With his elegant and engaging writing, Paraíba-born author João Lyra Filho manages to transport the reader to the heart of the city, making them feel as if they are walking alongside the passerby. The vivid and detailed descriptions of urban life are a testament to Lyra Filho’s talent as a storyteller. Monologue of a Passerby is more than just a collection of short stories; it is a reflection on the human condition, loneliness, and the search for connection in an increasingly disconnected world. It is a must-read for any lover of Paraíba literature.
