Paragens

by Luis Filipe Alves

Overview

Jorge quer ser livre e independente. Quer escapar de vez ao controlo do pai, com quem nunca teve a relação que sente que devia ter tido, e crescer por si mesmo, sem as regras que o pai e a sociedade lhe querem impor.

Quanto o destino lhe concede o desejo, Jorge dá consigo à deriva, confrontado com um dia a dia para o qual não está preparado. Descobrindo por acaso a existência de Madalena, uma mulher importante no passado do seu pai, vê-se forçado a reavaliar tudo aquilo que presumira sobre o seu passado. E à medida que a sua vida e a de Madalena se vão imiscuindo uma na noutra, ambos vão aprendendo que liberdade não implica rebeldia, e independência não implica isolamento. Que erros são lições, para quem os comete e para quem os vê cometidos.

E acima de tudo, que quando a vida nos pára, precisamos de quem nos empurre no sentido certo.

About the Author

Luís Filipe Alves has been a writer all his life, it just took him until 2005 to notice. And he still forgets sometimes.
He was one of the first podcasters in Portugal, with the weekly-ish music show Armário das Calças (which translates as The Pants Closet; don’t ask), a name he kept using with his blog long before the podcast closed doors. The blog itself was closed in early 2012, replaced by the portuguese version of LuisFilipeAlves.com.
Luís also co-founded the flash fiction blog Palavras Contadas (Counted Words), and was part of the team of Outro Lado dos Comics (The Other Side Of Comics), a comics news and analysis blog. He still hasn’t formally quit, but trust us, he doesn’t work there anymore.
His daily (portuguese language) newsletter Obviamente (Obviously) hasn’t missed a single weekday since it started in June 2012. Luís is justifiably proud of that, but less so of its actual content on most days. He’s since published the first year of it as a book. It looks good on his shelf.
He’s self-published six ebooks in portuguese, and intends to release at least as many in 2014, while also translating them all into english.
And whatever else he’s doing right now, he should stop it, and just write some more.
