Story
"O melhor de tudo é não julgar ninguém para não vir a ser julgado." O leitor há de perceber a contemporaneidade do conto "Suje-se gordo", de Machado de Assis, que tem por enredo o julgamento de um ladrão cujo montante de dinheiro roubado era pequeno, peculiaridade esta que causa indignação a Lopes, um dos jurados.

Story
"Falavam uma língua imprevista e curiosa, cuspinhando; e olhando as pobres coitadas, não sabia eu bem se falava a mulheres velhas ou a mulheres novas, de tal forma aquelas faces e aqueles corpos estavam arruinados." A crueza da narrativa de João do Rio não poderia retratar melhor a realidade da detenção feminina no Rio de Janeiro da virada do século XIX para o século XX. O narrador presente circula pelo "locus" do enredo, tornando ainda mais vívida ao leitor essa experiência.

Story
Extraída da obra "A alma encantadora das ruas" a crônica "As mariposas do luxo" explora os desejos de mulheres simples, que não têm dinheiro para ostentar luxos, ao observar os produtos expostos nas vitrines da rua do Ouvidor, no Rio de Janeiro. É a crueza obscura da sociedade explorada com brilhantismo por João do Rio: "A rua não lhes apresenta só o amor, o namoro, o desvio... Apresenta-lhes o luxo. E cada montra é a hipnose e cada rayon de modas é o foco em torno do qual reviravolteiam e anseiam as pobres mariposas".

O leitor há de se envolver nessa narrativa, estimulado pelo narrador que conta a história da atriz Irene de Souza e interage com ela! Inveja e muita fofoca orbitam o sucesso de Irene, que, no entanto, mostra-se fiel ao companheiro Agostinho Azambuja. Demora, mas o narrador cede à crença de que a personagem muito bem construída por João do Rio não tem amantes. Até que um amigo lhe chama a atenção para um detalhe.

"Todos esses nomes ignorados escondem dramas pungentes, cenas de horror, vidas perdidas." Esse trecho extraído da crônica "Os que começam" resume bem a proposta de João do Rio – inclusive trazendo o adjetivo que melhor qualifica a descrição da vida das crianças abandonadas nas ruas do Rio de Janeiro: "pungente". Personagens e suas histórias são pinçados pelo narrador; mudam-se os nomes, fica o substrato.

King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.
