Another 15 days went by in the blink of an eye and now it's time to bring you a new contemporary Brazilian short story once again. 

Today we are featuring the work of journalist, author, and documentary filmmaker Eliane Brum. We selected "The Cat" because it's a nuanced story about the relationship between a girl and her mother―and a cat.

We hope you enjoy Eliane's work and feel free to comment on it!
