"A synopsis is an electoral promise. A declaration of eternal love. The candidate in a job interview. The real estate agent selling the house. The candidate for Miss World talking about the dream of saving the children of Africa. It's the best of us, in a few lines - the perfection that does not stand up to something bigger than an affair. And there is no harm in that - since made between adults. This is the synopsis of "O Boato. Introdução ao Pessimismo" in 187 aphorisms. Or un-aphorisms. Between God and a coffee grinder." (Alexandre Borges)
