The Smile and the Abyss brings together four stories that shift between raw humor and disguised melancholy. From a small village where nothing ever happens to a washed-up actress desperate for an audience; from political illusions that turned into bureaucracy to Christmases soaked in failure - each narrative exposes both the ridiculous and the tragic sides of living in a world that rarely makes sense. Between irony and despair, what remains is laughter - the kind that clings to the abyss just to avoid falling with it.

Autorenporträt
Zarak Krumfort is a Brazilian-born writer based in the United Kingdom. His work blends lyrical prose, existential themes, and deeply human narratives focused on the invisible, the forgotten, and the emotionally raw. Retired from factory life but never from thought, Zarak found in literature a second breath - a way to speak of silences, urban ruins, and fragile identities. His writing often walks the line between poetry and confession, fiction and memory. He is the author of Mesmo Quando Ninguém Vê and Bitter Taste, and publishes independently in both Portuguese and English.
