Portrait of Janice Souza

Telling stories is another way of travelling

Writing is an essential part of my life. Stories travel with me like a notebook I always carry, so I never lose what deserves to be told.

My books move between memory and imagination, between Portuguese and Spanish. Their pages hold cities, eras and characters asking to be heard, and the curiosity of someone who never stops wondering how things work.

Fiction and reality meet when a lived experience turns into a question.

Five books, five ways in

Personal memoir, imagined historical encounters, short stories, a practical guide and a dystopia about intelligence and freedom.
