effort or tendency of writersto become genuinely Brazilian in idiom,in spirit,and in subjectmatter.Earlier writers in general were charged with having com-posed academic or Lusitanian Portuguese rather than BrazilianPortuguese and,what was worse,with having been indifferent tothe national reality.“If our customs and our landscapes werecaptured,\"says the fictionist Renard Perez,\"our essence wasnot.The Brazilian soul remained unexplored.\"1  \nThe modernists,then,sought to write authentically as Bra-zilians about Brazil.In the short story,according to Perez,theprincipal exponents of this tendency were Mario de Andrade,Antônio de Alcantara Machado,and Ribeiro Couto.All threeare represented in the present collection.Indeed,almost all theauthors of these stories—all,one might say,except ClariceLispector—manifest in varying degree the nationalistic tendencyof modernism.This is true even of Guimaraes Rosa,the giant ofpost-modernist Brazilian fiction.  \nBut,in Brazilian literature as in Brazilian political sentiment,nationalism is an elusive concept.Brazil is a vast and variednation,and minha terra—my homeland,my native land—maymean one's own region rather than the entire country.Mário deAndrade and Alcântara Machado wrote about people in SãoPaulo;Darcy Azambuja writes about the far south;MarquesRebelo writes about cariocas,especially in suburban Rio;Magal-haes Júnior's story(among others)in this anthology takes placein the northeast,an especially fruitful setting of great fiction.Allthese authors,of course,are writing about Brazil.But is it
