His parents emigrated from Bessarabia in 1919 to the southernmost state of Brazil, and his allegorical, fabulist and folkloric prose fiction often centers on characters journeying through a world of threat and absurdity. The Centaur in the Garden (1980) is his best-known novel. The Brazilian novelist Moacyr Scliar (1937-2011) produced over sixty titles in a variety of genres that also included children’s books, short stories, philosophical studies, and even cookbooks. ![]()
