Levedation: dosages of acidity without parcimony

12h45 – 14h00 – RISE UP: A SCIENTIFIC INTERFACE

Levedação: doses de acidez sem parcimônia [Levedation: dosages of acidity without parcimony] by Jeder Janotti Jr.

Debut novel by the writer Jeder Janotti Junior, ‘Levedação’ is inspired by the caustic style of underground literature to tell the story of Paulo, a Recife doctoral student who puts his backpack and stops in the city of Montreal, Canada, because of a doctorate sandwich fellowship. Dwelling in a strange country, with no friends or intimacy with the local language, Paulo finds himself faced with a deep estrangement that sets him on an inner journey, on sleepless nights, watered by beer, music, elucubrations, academic readings, and ephemeral relationships.
