Literary festival Flip 2014

The 12th edition of Flip, the International Literary Festival of Paraty, will take place from 30 July to 3 August 2014. 

Millôr Fernandes is the subject of this year's homage. Playwright, publisher, translator, graphic artist, and one of the key figures in Brazilian press, Millôr will be remembered in Paraty two years after his death, aged 88, in March 2012. A master of humour, Millôr gathered the world of Flip in a single man: delving into many areas of knowledge, with work ranging from translations of Shakespeare to comic strips, journalism or haiku poetry, he broke down barriers and fostered crossovers between various art forms.

This is the first time Flip pays homage to a contemporary author and one who actually set foot in the Author's Tent. Millôr was among the guests for Flip's inaugural edition, in 2003.

The 12th edition of Flip is curated by publisher and journalist Paulo Werneck.
