About...
Mário Cesariny De Vasconcelos was a Portuguese poet, playwright, novelist, and painter, considered the main representative of Portuguese surrealism.
Some of her main works:
Manual of Prestidigitation (1956)
Capital Punishment (1957)
The Black Virgin (1989)
“Love how the road begins.” – Capital Punishment, Mário Cesariny.
Due to his sexual orientation until the revolution of 25 April 1974, he was often harassed, harassed, and detained by the police for “suspected vagrancy”. Humor, irony, and the use of absurdity and radical nonsense are hallmarks of Cesariny’s writing.
In 2002, he won the Grande Prémio Vida Literária, in homage to his outstanding contribution to Portuguese literature.
