Ferreira Gullar in conversation with Ariel Jiménez

Ferreira Gullar in Conversation with/en conversación con Ariel Jiménez, the fifth book in the Conversaciones series, presents a vivid portrait of Ferreira Gullar, an art critic, political essayist, playwright, and poet who has been a key and controversial figure in the Brazilian cultural scene over the past 60 years. The book includes an introductory essay by Weydson B. Leal.

Ferreira Gullar was born in 1930 in São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil. His poetic output is closely linked to his work as an art critic. From his first major collection of poems, published in 1954, to his Concrete Poetry and Neoconcrete works published between 1957 and 1959 (including the important 1959 works "Neoconcrete Manifesto" and "Theory of the Non-Object"), Gullar's writings are essential to the history of Brazilian and Latin American literature, and have profoundly influenced generations of artists.
