It's that time of the month again! Here's a new contemporary Brazilian short story fresh out of the oven. Today we have the pleasure of featuring the work of Sergio Tavares, a journalist and author who has published two books so far.

We've selected "Meat" because it tells us the story of a cruel reality many Brazilians face everyday: how to feed their children while living under the poverty line.

We hope you enjoy Sergio's work and feel free to comment on it.
