Winner of the 2020 São Paulo Prize for Literature, The Endless Body is a poignant exploration of memory, identity, and loss set against Brazil’s civil-military dictatorship. Daniel, the son of a disappeared guerrilla fighter, embarks on a quest to uncover the truth about his mother and the fractured history of his country. As he pieces together stories of women lost to time and oppression, Daniel confronts the complexities of absence and the elusive nature of truth.
Through lyrical prose, Lage examines the role of writing in preserving memory and addressing the wounds of history, while acknowledging its limitations. A deeply emotional meditation on resilience and justice, The Endless Body is a testament to the enduring power of words and the human spirit.
