Tudo é Rio, livro de estreia da incrível Carla Madeira é nada mais nada menos que uma obra prima! O livro facilmente te prende do começo ao fim com personagens ímpares, mas que ao mesmo tempo são muito bem reconhecíveis em qualquer cidadezinha do interior.

Ambientado em uma pequena cidade de Minas Gerais (estado natal da autora), onde moram nossos três heróis: Lucy, Dalva e Venâncio. Tudo é Rio trás a tona o lado mais cru do ser humano, com seus desejos, medos, amores, pensamentos e ações.

O vai e vem da narrativa nos leva ao passados desses personagens e ao passado dos seus passados para termos em nossas mãos a pintura completa que tenta responder a pergunta principal - quem são essas pessoas?

Sinópse:

Venâncio e Dalva são o casal perfeito. Se conheceram na adolescência e se namoram desde então. Toda a cidade os conhece e os viu crescer juntos, noivar juntos, casar juntos e ter seu primeiro filho. Inceparáveis... ou pelo menos eram.

Lucy, era puta. A mais requisitada prostituta da cidade - e se orgulhava muito disso. Todas as noites vários eram seus visitantes, os quais escolhia a dedo com quem iria se deitar.

E certo dia, foi a vez de Venâncio aparecer em seu bordel.

Uma aparição inesperada, já que sua devoção por Dalva era mais que conhecida e atestada por todos. E essas surpresa (fora ou em boa hora, não sei) instigou toda a paixão de Lucy.

A prostituta dispensou todos aquela noite, apenas para ficar com Venâncio, mas maior ainda foi a sua surpresa quando ele a rejeitou. Ficaria com qualquer outra mulher, com Lucy não.

Se era assim que ele queria, ela jogaria sujo também e declarou, espalhem aos quatro cantos que Lucy está de greve e não se deita mais com ninguém até que Venâncio a tenha.

O que acontece depois? Onde está Dalva nessa complicação toda? Porque Dalva e Venâncio não são mais vistos juntos? Porque Lucy quer tanto este homem? O que os levou até esse momento?

Bem, essas são perguntas para o bom leitor descobrir.

Lançado em 2014 e relançado em 2016, Tudo é Rio já soma aproximadamente 150 mil cópias vendidas, sendo o segundo livro brasileiro mais lido em 2021.

Outros livros da autora também chamam atenção no cenário nacional como Véspera e A Natureza da Mordida. Talvez venha ai novas análises desses livros no futuro!

HAPPY MIGHTY NEIN REUNION DAY EVERYONE!!

So here's the thing : The Addams Family is a very difficult fandom to write for (speaking as someone who arguably have some experience of writing for this fandom) - seriously, it is really really difficult to be creative here and here's why - they are perfect family unit, loving and supportive and whats not. Good. Great. This is why we love them, right?

Gomez and Morticia? Couple goals. Madly in love and absolutely devoted to each other. As parents - A+++ parenting. Their children are supported and encouraged to explore their independence and individuality. Brilliant. Perfect.

So where do you go with it story wise, what new content can you create that wasn't already done and recycled? Nowhere. There's no story.

There's a reason why majority of fan fiction in the TAF fandom are one shot smuts or (very few) significantly AU chapter stories (this goes for my own writing as well) because those characters are too perfect and too cartoonish to work with outside of parameters of what was already explored in the 60s tv show and 90s movies.

So what do you do? You create artificial drama - artificial, even cliché conflict which in the Addams Family works primarily between two characters Wednesday and Morticia. It's artificial and ooc but it's practically the only way to create something tangible within this universe without going wildly AU.

Charles Adams created cartoons, and those characters are just that - cartoonish. There's no depth and no real character progression to speak of, nothing to really sink your teeth in. As a writer, you practically work from scratch - 60s Morticia and 90s Morticia are practically completely different, beside the fact that they are both devoted to their family, loving wives etc.) but essentially, Anjelica Huston created her own Morticia. So realistically, where can Catherine Z Jones, in her own portrayal of Morticia, go from there? Or Jenna in her Wednesday? What can the writers do with those characters that would please the fans but without copying from what was done before because what's the point of recycling the material again and again? What story can they create within this universe that would be new, not recycled, not copied from what was already done within the Addams Family but would be close to the original idea? Honestly, I have no idea. Which is why I'm far from criticising netflix's Wednesday.

Is the new show rocking my boat? No. I have no interest in the school life of a teenage Wednesday and her friends. Zero cares given. But I can still appreciate what they’ve done to create, arguably, a completely new Addams Family content that seems to resonate with a lot of young people, Wenclair fans included - it is really not bad. Not bad at all. Not everyone will like it and that's completely fine, because not all content is created specifically for us and you're not going to enjoy every incarnation of the Addams Family no matter how devoted you are to the fandom.

Now, Gomez and Morticia are my OTP. Do I want to see the adventures of teenage Gomez and Morticia in Nevermore Academy? Fuck no, because I'm an adult and TV show about teenagers, even if it's Gomez and Morticia, doesn't tickle me at all.

Ideally? I would love Gomez and Morticia focused live action movie that would cater to older demographic. I want it dark and I want it sexy and not at all a family movie. What are the chances of that happening? Probably zero.

But anyway, this is my take on this.
