In 'The Green and Purple Skin of the World', Paulo da Costa presents stories that strike with precision, stories that linger like the cool shadows in a West Coast forest, or the quiet moments after a child's honest confession to a stuffed rabbit named Carrot. Each narrative from da Costa's pen invites you into a sphere where the everyday becomes extraordinary, where dark humor meets the stark reality of life's tightrope walk.
From the depths of nature's untamed beauty to the complex layers of human relationships, these stories shine and provoke. They are iridescent bubbles reflecting the world, enchanting in their dance, and poignant in their burst. Like the title suggests, this collection wraps around you, a second skin of stories that feel both familiar and wonderfully strange, challenging you to look beyond and laugh alongside.
