Vencedor do prêmio Sesc de Literatura 2020 na categoria Romance, Encontro você no oitavo round conta a vida, sonhos e fracassos do boxeador Cristiano Machado Amoroso.

 

Encontro você no oitavo round, romance inaugural de Caê Guimarães, é movido a socos, cicatrizes, quedas e redenções. O protagonista, Cristiano Machado Amoroso, conta sua vida de boxeador periférico: um homem que ganha a vida batendo e apanhando, chegou bem perto do topo aos 25 anos, mas beijou a lona pela primeira vez, nocaute que nunca esqueceu. Aos 40, isolado no corner, com a guarda baixa, sofre com um eterno zumbido que o atordoa, fruto das pancadas. Prestes a se aposentar, antes da última luta, recebe uma proposta: entregar o resultado sem que o adversário saiba. Para receber o dinheiro, a derrota terá que ser no quarto round.

A narrativa nos leva ao cotidiano da periferia, onde Cristiano vive e treina, junto aos sonhos e fracassos dos personagens que foram, de muitas formas, espancados. Nas semanas em que se prepara para o combate final, o protagonista faz acertos com a própria vida. Deixou para trás um promissor início de carreira literária, que agora retorna para, quem sabe, um acerto de contas.

Lutar é risco. Escrever é risco. Neste Encontro você no oitavo round, vencedor do Prêmio Sesc de Literatura 2020, a irmanação entre boxe e escrita surge com rara potência. Até o último round, não sabemos se o pugilista vai beijar novamente a lona, conforme o combinado. O estranho mistério que acompanha os que apanham muito, mas nem sempre entregam os pontos.

Das escolha das palavras à construção dos personagens. Do ritmo ao enredo. Tudo é feito de forma poderosa e com mãos firmes. É um livro para ser ler num só fôlego.

Um romance ágil e suave mas forte ao mesmo tempo. Veia poética clara e deve ser lido com atenção redobrada. Nota 10!
