Description
The stories in "Taker" range across Fonseca's career, all exploring the modern landscape of Rio de Janeiro, a city whose vast disparities in wealth, social standing, and prestige are untenable. In these, rich and poor live in an uneasy equilibrium, where only overwhelming force can maintain order, and violence and deception are essential tools of survival."
