Characters in situations that border on the fantastic permeate the tales of Lygia, an attorney who graduated from the Largo São Francisco Law School, whose imagination worked endlessly. A Caçada (The Hunt), A Estrutura da Bolha de Sabão (The Structure of the Soap Bubble) and A Chave na Porta are examples of the power of a thought-provoking prose, that often flirted with mystery and the ethereal. Quite politicized, in As Meninas (The Girl in the Photograph) she writes about her traumatic experience of living in the midst of a military dictatorship, against which she fought alongside friends who were murdered, which left her deeply scarred.
