Sobre IBD

'Letters from Brazil III' is a continuation of Professor Mike Gaherty’s adventures in Brazil. It chronicles in fiction Mike’s initiation into the Portuguese-Brazilian academic world in the milieu of a major international 'congress.' The academic affair is followed by Mike’s friendship and involvement with singer-composer Chico Buarque de Hollanda, the reporting for the New York Times of his songs jousting with Brazil’s 'prior censorship' board, and Mike’s participation in one of Chico’s LP’s and successive concerts in Sao Paulo and Rio. The latter experience becomes dicey and dangerous with interference, surprising cooperation and then bad times with the military regime’s enforcement agency - the 'Department of Public Security.' Mike, still a bachelor, is entertained and then becomes enmeshed in fun times turned complicated with beautiful 'carioca' women.
