Art has the great power to bring knowledge to its admirers, mainly the art of writing, that despite being little valued in Brazil, is very rich in information and entertainment. National authors are increasingly proposing to write stories set in national territories; a way to present several different regions of the country through thought-provoking storylines.
Rio Grande do Sul is a great backdrop for some Brazilian authors, mainly residents in the region. And analyzing the great narratives that work in this regionalism, we gathered writers who took the cities of RS to the scenarios of their stories.

In the plot, the author explores the south and east of the capital, but, in addition, also includes the International, city-based team, within the narrative.
In an interview, Rachel claims he did everything to treat the city like New York from famous romantic comedy films.

Exploring your gift of writing, the author launched the book Absent by Editorial Group Coherence in 2019, in which we followed a murder in São José dos Ausentes, a city that has the habit of going to rest from the hectic life.
