![]() ![]() In fresh and poetic prose, Raimundo Neto brings us lesser-known narratives of queer life in rural Brazil, including the story of a boy determined to become the "harvest bride" at a the local annual harvest dance. Spanning four decades, and featuring a total of thirteen writers, Cuíer reminds us again, as Natalia Affonso says in her translation of Tatiana Nascimento's poem: And Caio Fernando Abreu sits in a hospital dying of AIDS, meeting with angels and writing letters in which he repeats "all I can do is write" like a mantra.

Sir Richard is rumored to be a reclusive shy man. She is here to meet her possible husband Richard Latimer. Geni is visiting the country home of the Wright family.

Her attempt was to pass as a young farm boy rather than the seventeen-year-old young lady she was. Her attire was most inappropriate for the heat of the summer, yet she had carefully chosen each item before setting out. Her inner thighs were sore, chafed by the four-sizes-too-large overalls she had donned for her journey, and her wrists were grubby and dirt streaked from constantly rolling up the sleeves of the loose flannel shirt. Her feet carried blisters and calluses representing the many miles covered, and now she pushed them into the soft soil beneath the tree to cool them. She had come a long distance, sometimes hitching rides in the backs of rattling wagons and once having the luxury of a leather seat in a Model T. The gentle whisper of the wind through the leaves was as pleasing as a lullaby to the weary traveler. She rested her back against the bark, the tree’s shade a welcome respite from the stifling August heat. It was one of the few trees left standing when the farmers cleared the land to plant their Turkey Red wheat some seventy-five years past.
