Regina Edelman
Brazilian-born of mixed race and condemned to poverty, Garments of Fleas is the story of my life. As a child, I carried water to survive and had nothing but an urgent hope to escape the mud-caked floors of my crumbling flea-infested home, earning my freedom from my mother only when she forced me to support her by working as a nanny and maid in a history teacher's home when I was twelve years old. My story is about escape through introspection and reason, searching for answers from cruel circumstances like mine by observing man and nature.

Selected Content

Regina Edelman's Nobody to Denounce Papa in this House tells the heart-stopping story of an outraged officer stripped naked in old São Paulo. Filed under June, her Tarantulas in a Bed of Dry Leaves traces lonely minds in a tale of love, lust, and murder in a small Brazilian town. I love her farce of a failed Connecticut Gatsby, Handsome in America, in our February archive. Opening our blog on January 31, 2009, the Edelman-Eggers Letters Parts 1-10, serialize Regina's almost two-year correspondence with Dave Eggers and McSweeney's about her first draft manuscript that he asked her to send him by all means.
