The Endfixer

Noemi Vola

As a kid I wanted to become an endfixer, that is someone who fixes the ends of things. Because stories often stumble upon a bad end… at the best part.
Sometimes it also happens that the end is too complicated, too sad, too disappointing, too unfair, hard to swallow, incomprehensible…

The winning book of the 2nd edition of the Serpa / Planeta Tangerina Prize is finally making justice to every book that has ever had a bad ending.

This one, we can assure you, will end in the best way possible!

Press voices

A story about a love of stories and a love of writing, where the black-and-white world of mice (…) contrasts with the magnificent world of colours, possibilities and imagination.” Prateleira de baixo blog

Upon turning each page, the reader is wrapped up in the invitation to enter a game of imagination and parody, because after all, we don’t want the end to ruin the story, “because that seems very unfair”. A unusual book.” Deus me livro
