Author Biography

Marcelo Mirisola is considered one of the biggest revelations in the Brazilian Literature of the 1990s. He graduated from Law School, but never became a lawyer. He is known for his innovative and daring style, and the sometimes virulent way he reacts against the status quo and the "fraternities" of the literary world. He has also written Funk, The Returned Hero, Bungalow and The Blue Of The Deceased Son. Joana Against My Will is his first novel translated to English. Email: marcelomirisola@yahoo.com.br
