Gi

Rafa was the first to discover Gi in the ruined building: a chance encounter between two people on the margins of society. And it was also he who, torn between fascination and repulsion, revealed his secret, for what value does a discovery have that cannot be divulged? Based on the murder of Brazilian trans woman Gisberta Salce Júnior at the hands of a group of teenagers, Gi is a masterful anatomy of evil, a dizzying incursion into the minds of young executioners besieged by misery, peer pressure and need to be accepted. Afonso Reis Cabral, winner of the José Saramago Award for this heartbreaking and brilliant story, addresses in first person a crime that shocked Portuguese society.
