A Cup of Rage

A pair of lovers--a young female journalist and an older man who owns an isolated farm in Brazil--spend the night together. The next day they proceed to destroy each other. Amid vitriolic insults and scorching cruelty, their sexual adventure turns into a savage power game between two warring egos. This intense, erotic masterpiece--written by one of Brazil's most highly regarded modernists--explores alienation, arrogance, machismo meltdown, the desire to dominate, and the wish to be dominated.
