Rio de Janeiro, the 1970s. One hot Brazilian summer, Camilo meets Cosme and the two teenage boys discover a new kind of tenderness. But an act of violence will shatter their intimate world, and change the trajectory of their young lives. At once an incisive exploration of Brazilian society and a tender account of first love, first grief and revenge, The Love of Singular Men is a powerful and exhilarating novel, which sparkles with wit and playful ingenuity throughout.
Victor Heringer (1988-2018) was a writer and artist, born in Rio de Janeiro.

After his death, Companhia das Letras reissued all of his works and a collection of his non-fiction writing, Vida desinteressante, which was shortlisted for the 2022 Jabuti Prize.
