The Alencar Costa e Oliveira family talk to each other through inside jokes, often saying the opposite of what they mean, or repeating the same sentence until it acquires new meaning. But they also have a dark inheritance: every member of the family has died of the same cause – acute melancholy.
From the author of The Love of Singular Men comes a family saga like no other. Equal parts postmodern, tender and satirical, Glória follows three brothers – Benjamin, Daniel and Abel – as they do battle with online forums, religious hysteria, the art world of Rio de Janeiro, ants, aunts, love, humiliation and a stammering God.
Victor Heringer was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1988. His poetry collection, automatografo, was published by 7Letras in 2011, followed by his debut novel, Gloria, which was awarded the 2013 Jabuti Prize. His second novel, The Love of Singular Men, was published by Companhia das Letras in 2016 and in English by Peirene Press in 2023, and was shortlisted for the Sao Paulo Prize for Literature, the Rio Prize for Literature and the Oceanos Prize. In 2017 he was selected by Forbes Brasil for their 'Forbes under 30' list. Victor Heringer died in 2018, three weeks before his thirtieth birthday. Following his death, Companhia das Letras reissued all of his works and published a collection of his non-fiction writing, Vida desinteressante, which was
shortlisted for the 2022 Jabuti Prize.
