The endfixer
(Portuguese edition)
“As a kid, I wanted to be an endfixer, which is someone who fixes the ends of things. Because stories often end up with a bad end… just as it’s getting to the best part.
Sometimes it also happens that the end is too complicated, too sad, too disappointing, too unfair, too hard to swallow, or too incomprehensible…”
The winning book of the 2nd edition of the Serpa / Planeta Tangerina Prize is finally doing justice to every book that ever had a bad ending.
This one, we can assure you, will end in the best possible way!

What they say
A story about a love of stories and a love of writing, where the black-and-white world of mice (…) contrasts with the magnificent world of colours, possibilities and imagination.
Prateleira de baixo blog, July 2018
Upon turning each page, the reader is wrapped up in the invitation to enter a game of imagination and parody, because after all, we don’t want the end to ruin the story, “because that seems very unfair”. A unusual book.
