Free City is master storyteller Joao Almino's third novel to focus on
the city of Bras?lia, the social swirl of its early years, when
contractors, corporate profiteers, idealists, politicians, mystical
sects, and even celebrities mingled--including Aldous Huxley, Fidel
Castro, Andre Malraux, John Dos Passos, Elizabeth Bishop, and many
others. Putting past and present into direct conflict, the story takes
the form of a blog, even incorporating comments from other bloggers,
each with their vested interests, each with new reasons for spinning
fictions of their own.
