If you want to make your author friend’s day, always send them a photo when you spot their book in a bookstore. All the better if it’s somewhere unexpected. Truly never gets old

I love that The Guardian found a Brazilian-Brit to narrate this excerpt of my book theguardian.com/news/audio/202…

I had an excellent chat with Alex Cuadros about his great book "When We Sold God’s Eye: Diamonds, Murder, and a Clash of Worlds in the Amazon" for Mongabay. Link to the full Q&A in the following tweet

BOOKS & COCKTAILS: April 1, 5pm: Join us on rooftop at Princeton School of Public & International Affairs DC Center w/ Brazil reporter Alex Cuadros & Bruna Santos of the The Wilson Center The Brazil Institute. They will join Zach Vertin to discuss “When We Sold God’s Eye” & Brazil past & present. bit.ly/3DrXYWo

I reviewed Alex Cuadros's anti-Rousseauean portrait of how one indigenous group entered the illegal diamond trade (for better or worse).

TODAY @ 5pm in DC Join us on Rooftop for "Books & Cocktails" Series: Author Alex Cuadros & Bruna Santos of the The Wilson Center The Brazil Institute will join Zach Vertin to discuss new book: “When We Sold God’s Eye” & Brazil past & present. Great Weather!☀️RSVP: bit.ly/3DrXYWo

Thrilled to be in such excellent company as a finalist for the California Book Award!

For anyone familiar with Brazil's recent economic history, Trump's Liberation Day is awfully reminiscent of Collor's "confisco" in 1990 -- when people's savings accounts were frozen to fight hyperinflation (this failed spectacularly, and traumatized the entire country)

Big recommend for Alex Caudros' book, When We Sold God's Eye: Diamonds, Murder and A Clash of Worlds in the Amazon. The material alone is stunning, but Alex is a real writing talent, so it reads like a novel that happens to be entirely non-fiction.

I really enjoyed this conversation!
