Paulo Alexandre Negreiros de Andrade has built a rare and compelling career by bringing together medicine and literature with remarkable naturalness.
A pediatrician with a solid academic background, including specialization in Neonatology, one year of international experience in France, and training in management from Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV), he brings to his writing a deeply human perspective, attentive to the fragilities, contradictions, and hopes of the human condition. His clinical experience seems to overflow onto the page, giving his narratives emotional authenticity and sensitivity.
Since his debut with Entre uma consulta e outra (Between One Consultation and Another, 2007), the author has revealed a light, ironic, and critical style, capable of transforming everyday life into rich and provocative literary material.
One of his most remarkable works, Diários de Francisco da Silva (The Diaries of Francisco da Silva), presents a sensitive and original literary construction by following the life of Chicão, a simple man who becomes, paradoxically, an interpreter of twentieth-century Brazil. Through his records, the reader travels through the history of the capital of Ceará and of his beloved football club, Ceará Sporting Club. The protagonist's seemingly naïve language contrasts with the depth of the themes addressed: inequality, prejudice, memory, and identity, resulting in a narrative that moves, challenges, and humanizes history.
In Crônicas do cotidiano: entre analogias e metáforas (Chronicles of Everyday Life: Between Analogies and Metaphors), Paulo Alexandre consolidates his authorial signature: a writing style that moves fluidly between reality and fiction, always permeated by humor, indignation, and reflection.
His ability to capture the tensions of contemporary Brazil-from the urban peripheries to existential dilemmas-positions him as a sensitive and perceptive chronicler of our time.
With Cinzas do Futuro (A Future in Ashes, 2026), the author takes an ambitious leap into science fiction without abandoning his critical roots. By exploring themes such as climate collapse, inequality, and artificial intelligence, he demonstrates versatility and literary maturity, establishing himself confidently within a genre that demands imagination as well as conceptual rigor. The work confirms his ability to engage with global issues without losing touch with the human dimension.
Above all, Paulo Alexandre is a writer of the borders between science and art, between the real and the imaginary, between the intimate and the collective. His multifaceted and coherent body of work offers readers not only entertainment, but also critical reflection and sensitivity.
He is an author who deserves to be read with close attention in the contemporary Brazilian literary landscape.
