Review
Not since Alfred Appel's annotated Lolita clarified the subtle wordplay and allusions found in Nabokov's masterpiece has there been such an accessible assemblage beneath the packaging of compelling entertainment, all neatly explicated by translator Frizzi's analysis and glossary of terms. -- Whitney Scott "Booklist" (02/01/2001)

We need more translations of Caio's books.
9 Nov 2000
Format:Hardcover
Caio is known in Brazil by his short stories. Whatever Happened to Dulce Veiga is his first and only novel and it is wonderful. I started reading Caio when I was in College in Brazil and since then I have a extremely passion for his works. I read some of his stories more than five times because they are full of poetry and beauty. He creates a world at once familiar and fabulous. After reading all his short stories and his post mortem book, I read Dulce Veiga. I don't know how I took so long. It's witty and magical. I may say that I was truly sorry when the book ended. I wanted more and I wanted to call him and tell how much I did I enjoy it. It was too late. He had died a year before I read it. Nevertheless I am happy that the book will be released in the U.S. I do hope the American public can understand Caio and his stories.

Abreu tells a too surreal, gimicky tale..
12 May 2005
Format:Paperback
Caio Abreu has a interesting type of tale to tell, but it didn't quite work well. In his novel "Whatever Happened to Dulce Veiga?", a jaded journalist is send to cover a new musical group, and finds that one of them is the daughter of Dulce Veiga, who vanished over 20 years before. In between odd homoerotic fantasties and surreal images of a Brazilean cult, the journalist searches for Dulce and himself. The chapter are themed by days, and feature images of Brazilian cult "gods". I credit Abreu for his courage, but this isn't a good novel by any criteria
