Dalton Jérson Trevisan ( Curitiba , 14 June 1925) is a Brazilian author of short stories . [1] He is described as an "acclaimed short-story chronicler of lower-class mores and popular dramas." [2] Trevisan won the 2012 Prémio Camões , the leading Portuguese-language author prize, valued at € 100,000 . [3] [4] [5]
His short stories are inspired in the daily life of his home city of Curitiba , though featuring characters and situations of universal meaning. His extremely concise and refined tales have been called " Haikus in prose ". They are often based on dialogue, using a popular language, and underline the torturing and absurd aspects of everyday life. Often brutal, his narratives can be considered the reverse of moral tales, exposing a culture of perversion and violence underlying middle class hypocrisy . [6]
As of 2021, only two of his books have been translated into English, Novels Not at All Exemplary and The Vampire of Curitiba , both in 1972 by translator Gregory Rabassa . [7]
His reclusive behavior, added to his longevity and the content of his work, gave him the nickname " The Vampire of Curitiba ". [8]
He graduated from the Federal University of Paraná in legal studies but seldom worked in the law profession. [9]
Joaquim
Dalton Trevisan was the editor of a magazine called Joaquim (Portuguese: Revista Joaquim), which put Paraná on the map of Brazilian literary discussions in the 1940s. The magazine had a total of 21 issues and circulated between April 1946 and December 1948. Joaquim was responsible for the first publication in Portuguese of texts by T. S. Elliot , Franz Kafka , Louis Aragon , Tristan Tzara , Garcia Lorca , Rainer Maria Rilke , André Gide and Jean Paul Sartre . Among the sporadic contributors to the magazine it is possible to list Vinícius de Moraes , Carlos Drummond de Andrade , Mario de Andrade , Oswald de Andrade and Antônio Cândido . The name "Joaquim" was chosen as a common, proximate and universal name in Brazil.
Joaquim 's pages displayed original artwork by plastic artists such as Candido Portinari , Di Cavalcanti , Guido Viaro and Poty Lazzarotto . Lazzarotto would remain a great editorial partner of Trevisan in the following decades. [10]

As Brazil's acclaimed short-story chronicler of lower-class mores and popular dramas, Dalton Trevisan infuses his twenty-second publication with twenty-two narratives of blood-soaked violence, primarily the domestic kind frequently splashed across lurid tabloids that sensationalize the conjugal warfare between oppressive husbands and oppressed wives.
