Born in a SÃ£o Paulo shantytown, Ludo undergoes a remarkable transformation from one side of the cityâ€™s impermeable social divide to the other. Rescued and raised by a plutocrat, Zeno Generoso, Ludo finds himself entrenched in the gated, guarded community of the super-rich.
Â
Now twenty-seven, Ludo works for a vacuous â€œcommunications companyâ€ that markets unwanted, unaffordable products aimed at the very underclass into which he was born and from which he escaped. To make matters more complicated, he has developed an obsessive, adulterous love for his adoptive sister, whose husband is his only friend.
Â
Ludoâ€™s involvement in an ill-conceived supermarket launch aimed at the favelaâ€™s desperately poor population risks embroiling him in a world of violence and brutality. By turns darkly humorous and poignant, James Scudamoreâ€™s Booker Prize-nominated novel is a highly original, surprising take on the rags-to-riches story.
