The secret dinner

Rafael Montez returns — author of Woman in a Bag and the Village of the Seven Sins and Russian Roulette and Woman in the Dark — this time to us to his world that leaves us in amazement and confusion about what we read. Wondering, how can a person do this? And where do such ideas come from? Four friends live after they came from the countryside in an apartment in Rio de Janeiro, and they face many difficulties until they fall into a big financial problem they do not know how to get out of. Suddenly, one of them comes up with a crazy idea; to offer a "secret dinner," where guests eat the rare "seagull meat"! But, what is the story of this seagull meat? And why is it a "secret dinner"?
