janelas da escrita
Janelas da escrita is the biography of Bartolomeu Campos de Queirós, written by Ninfa Parreiras. Queirós was a Brazilian writer who published over 70 books during his career. Although his readers were mainly children and teenagers, philosophical questions are present in his writings. Windows are important elements in Parreira’s narrative. In the book, she recalls when Bartolomeu lived with his mother. In their home, the windows were always open, enabling contact with the street and people passing by. With his father, the windows were closed. This metaphor inspired the graphic creation. Throughout the book, the text moves towards the external edge of the page, resembling windows that open as we discover more about the author’s life.
