Geovani Martins no es solo un escritor, es una estrella .- The Guardian

Los trece cuentos que componen El sol en la cabeza est n atravesados por dos hilos que no dejan de vibrar. Por un lado, la realidad de las favelas de R o, la dif cil adolescencia de sus protagonistas, el consumo de droga, la brutal represi n policial. Por otro, su lenguaje espont neo, crudo, colorido, vivaz.

La fascinante capacidad narrativa de Geovani Martins, el escritor latinoamericano m s impactante de los ltimos a os, le permite adem s hacer convivir el suspense de las operaciones policiales contra el narcotr fico con la ternura de la amistad adolescente de los j venes que aparecen y deambulan por las favelas, que se ba an en las playas o que se drogan con sus amigos. Como dice el mismo Martins, esta es una historia sobre nuestra capacidad de resistencia, adaptaci n e invenci n .

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The Sun On My Head is a collection of thirteen short stories set in Rio's largest favela, Rocinha. The collection gravitates around the childhoods and teenage years of boys who, in spite of having to deal with the anguish and difficulties inherent to their age, also struggle with the violence involved in growing up on the less favoured side of the 'Broken City'.

In stories such as 'Flash Mob', a group of teenagers goes to the beach in the summer of 2015, a time marked by Rio's military police presence, allegedly aimed at discouraging organized gang looting. In 'Fr. Miguel Station, a group of friends find themselves staring down the barrels of militia semi-automatics, while in 'Russian Roulette', the routine of some children in Bangu is sent into a spin by the appearance of a revolver.
