Summary
Isaías, a bright young mixed-race man from a small town, goes to Rio de Janeiro to become a doctor and instead ends up as a clerk on a powerful newspaper. Lima Barreto's first novel, The Memoirs of Isaías Caminha, is a bitter, funny portrait of the press, the city's elites and the walls built against a man like him.
