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 author, translator and interpreters Clarisse Bandeira de Mello. We selected "The Tulip Collector" because it depicts the life of a Brazilian immigrant as he reflects on his routine and the decisions he made to lead him to where he is now.

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