Steven F. Butterman's Perversions on Parade: Brazilian Literature of Transgression and Postmodern Anti-Aesthetics in Glauco Mattoso is the first book-length scholarly treatment in English of the Brazilian poet Glauco Mattoso's work, some of which was written during Brazil's most recent dictatorship (1964-85).
The author highlights Mattoso's themes of homosexuality, fetishism,
and symbolic sadomasochism within a context of a comparative examination
of transgressive literature in the Western canon (for example, the
French poete maudit, such as Rimbaud, Baudelaire, and Verlaine) with
particular emphasis on Luso-Brazilian literature from the Middle Ages to
the present.
