About this product
Product Information
Winner of the Machado de Assis Prize Driving home, law student Paulo passes a figure at the side of the road. The indigenous girl stands in the heavy rain, as if waiting for something. Paulo gives her a lift to her family's roadside camp. With sudden shifts in the characters' lives, this novel takes in the whole story: telling of love, loss and family, it spans the worlds of São Paulo's rich kids and dispossessed Guarani Indians along Brazil's highways. One man escapes into an immigrant squatter's life in London, while another's performance activism leads to unexpected fame on Youtube. Written from the gut, it is a raw and passionate classic in the making, about our need for a home.

Reviews
"A powerful, complex and very ambitious voice. In the contemporary Latin American literature scene, Paulo Scott is a must-read." Juan Pablo Villalobos, author of Down the Rabbit Hole and Quesadillas "Nowhere People highlights issues faced by indigenous Brazilians." The Herald (Glasgow) "One of Scott's many merits is to show daring, on many levels. Scott is not afraid to create one of the most interesting voices in recent fiction. And that is the voice of a Guarani Indian girl. Maína is far from the stereotypes of the 'noble savage' that orientate our literature and culture. Maína speaks." O Globo "Immensely powerful. [...] This novel tackles post-dictatorship Brazilian ideologies better than anything else in fiction." O Estado de São Paulo "Nowhere People is an inexhaustible font of surprises that the author's firm hand manages to harmonize." Rascunho "Nowhere People is not your average book." Folha de São Paulo "Stands out not just through its confrontation with its subject matter, but through Scott's particular style of writing … Nowhere People is an uncomfortable and strangely brilliant social history of post-dictatorship Brazil, chronicling the young left's fears after the honeymoon period of civilian rule, alongside the continuing prejudices against its indigenous tribes." David Faulds, The Literateur "This raw and passionate tale set in Brazil about love, loss and family explores the sharply contrasting worlds of Sao Paulo's wealthy young people and the people of the dispossessed Guarani tribe … a classic in the making." The National , Abu Dhabi "Embodiment of the complex relationship between upper-middle-class politics and impoverished, indigenous culture" Kirkus "Paulo Scott is one of the best novelists of his generation and is going to surprise us in the future. Of all the novels of the last five years, I really love Nowhere People. It is one hell of a book." João Gilberto Noll, Posfácio "Nowhere People is a provocative and interesting read, and feels timely given the focus on corruption and waste in Brazilian politics after the World Cup protests … Overall, this is another great release from And Other Stories." Thom Cuell, workshyfop "The major achievement is the creation of the character and voice of Maína, the young girl who is deracinated by her encounters with ‘Western' civilisation. The other achievement is that skill with which Scott retains our attention and interest in the two, across decades and continents against a background of post-dictatorship Brazil and Thatcher-ruled London. It is the ultimate expression of everyone's need for a real home." Michael Johnston, Akanos Nowhere People is, I think, an exceptional book. It's a clever, thoughtful, beautifully written, perceptive telling of a story that hasn't been told before. (I hope you'll read it when it's out and I hope you'll agree.)" Asymptote, "A powerful, complex and very ambitious voice. In the contemporary Latin American literature scene, Paulo Scott is a must-read."

Very fast shipping. Somewhat disappointed that the edition received is not the edition pictured in the listing. The listing itself clarifies this though, so that’s mostly my fault for not reading closer. Still happy with the purchase and service.
