Sources: 23. Developments: 3. The early‑July launch of a new literature course in Brazil and the Trofa Council’s expanded cultural programme in Portugal set the stage for a busy summer of literary exchange. The Academia Teixeirense de Letras took part in the 24th Festa Literária Internacional de Paraty (FLIP) in late July, showcasing works from Bahia, unveiling new titles and honoring local writers. August saw a wave of festivals across the country. Highlights included the 23rd Feira do Livro de Igrejinha (3‑8 August), Maricá’s Espraiado de Portas Abertas (2 August), Sesc PR’s 45th Semana Literária and Feira do Livro (12‑16 August) in 27 cities, and São Paulo’s Festa Literária Pirata das Editoras Independentes (5‑9 August). The Sesc PR programme, themed “Tudo Cabe na Palavra,” attracted over 100 000 visitors and was expected to sell around 15 000 books. The festival circuit broadened further with two major events. Curitiba’s Festival da Palavra (5‑9 August) was free, broadcast live by CBN’s Fim de Expediente and featured interviews with authors by Dan Stulbach, José Godoy and Luiz Gustavo Medina at the Teatro do Paiol. In Votuporanga, the 16th Festival Literário de Votuporanga (8‑16 August) – themed “Criadores de Futuros” – offered concerts by Frejat and Falamansa, a Turma da Mônica children’s show, and honored authors Janaina Tokitaka and Gabriel Chalita, with patron Luiz Deoclecio Massaro Galina recognized for his cultural work. Looking ahead, the 13th Festa Literária Internacional de Maringá (FLIM) in October will continue the momentum of Brazil‑Portugal literary collaboration. ## Claims - The 24th FLIP (Paraty International Literary Festival) ran from 22 to 26 July 2026 in Paraty, Brazil, honoring poet Orides Fontela and attracting about 40 000 visitors.
