Brazilian author and illustrator Ana Matsusaki visited the United States in October to launch her book “The Head Collector,” translated from Portuguese by Bruna Dantas Lobato.
The book explores the delicate and complex cultural aspects of death.
Official synopses say: There are all kinds of collections in this world… serious, funny, strange. Imagination knows no bounds! And Rosália’s collection may be the strangest yet, as she collects the heads, stories, and memories of those who have died. Ana Matsusaki’s beautifully illustrated book explores the delicate and complex cultural aspects of death with great humor and invites us to reflect on the shared and unique contents within each of our heads.
