A review by braunmagrin
A Casa dos Budas Ditosos by João Ubaldo Ribeiro
2.0
Supposedly this is the life account of a woman in her late 60s, who sent it anonymously to the writer for him to publish it. In it, she recounts her sexual exploits, which are many and varied.
As you might see in other reviews, it does seem like some parts were written to shock the reader, but this might be my biases speaking. Another negative point in my view is the rambling tangents in which she goes from time to time, about things entirely unrelated to the story she's telling and maybe to boast a bit about her erudition (which is not a word I use commonly, but I guess it'd be the one she'd use).
On the positive side, it's an easy read. She talks very freely about sex in its many forms and configurations. Things which, according to her, most people have not done despite secretly having the desire to do. She also has a compelling take on bisexuality.
