An Azulejo Embrace
Abstract
Translator's note: I have chosen to leave the term azulejo untranslated, mainly due to its referential power in Luso-Brazilian culture.Use of the original term invites the reader to explore the significance of this artisanal Iberian tradition, brought to Brazil during colonial times, while also better contextualizing the protagonist's deeply personal trauma, which takes place in an intimate setting while surrounded by these tiles.
