DESCRIPTION - Luis Fernando Verissimo's THE CLUB OF ANGELS is an irresistible, enticing book about the sin of gluttony-almost as irresistible and enticing as the exquisite meals prepared within. Written by one of Brazil's leading authors, THE CLUB OF ANGELS was an immediate success there, climbing the bestseller lists. With wit and dark humor, THE CLUB OF ANGELS 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, whose name is Daniel, meets his possible replacement-a mysterious man, Lucido - in a wineshop. Lucido is strangely taciturn, but in the privacy of Daniel's kitchen, he creates the men's favorite dishes, giving them a gastronomic experience like no other. The tale of bewilderment and death that follows makes for an unforgettable literary experience! This mordant satire, with its hilarious characters and witty dialogue, touches on all segments of Brazilian society. THE CLUB OF ANGELS has been translated into English by the renowned Margaret Jull Costa (translator of Javier Marias, Jose Saramago, Paulo Coelho, Reinaldo Arenas, and Arturo Perez-Reverte). inventory #31870.
