In this literary magazine focused on erotic short stories, Eduardo Kac published a prose poem entitled “Devaneios” (Reveries), defying all hallmarks of conventional short stories, namely: character, setting, conflict, plot and theme.

This is the only publication of the poem to date.

Wilson Bueno, the editor of the magazine, was one of Brazil’s most influential and beloved contemporary writers, editors, and journalists. His novel Mar Paraguayo is a sensation, constantly republished in Latin America since its first appearance in Brazil in 1992.

Bueno called out Kac’s exclusive participation on the cover (lower left corner of the gender-fluid photograph) and highlighted the fact that Kac is ”from the Movimento de Arte Pornô.”

In the opening pages, Bueno thus presented his guest: “Eduardo Kac is already, despite his young age, an author who will pass into the history of Brazilian literature, with all the restlessness of his age and (healthy) rebelliousness, in a permanent search for the new—or the unusual?” 

In the original Portuguese: “Eduardo Kac é, desde já, apesar da pouca idade, um autor que passa à história da literatura brasileira, com toda a inquietude de sua idade e (saudável) rebeldia, numa busca permanente do novo — ou do inusitado?”
