In Ruy Castro classes, he teaches the step by step to write non -fiction books.

In one of his lessons, he states about the works of non -fiction: “You have three stone clauses to obey: clarity, objectivity, and truth.”
Professional writer since the late 1980s, when he left the newspaper newsroom to dedicate herself to books, Ruy Castro tells at Casafolha that her informal career, so to speak, began long before.
“What is it being a writer? If the writer is the one who works with words, I can say that I have been a writer since I was four and a half, when I have learned to read,” he says. “I fell in love with the words at that very moment and never lived away from them.”
But he didn’t dream of writing books. I wanted to work in a newspaper, and that’s what I did – “I was always proud to be a journalist,” says the biographer,.
When she was 40, however, she began to think of guidelines that would not fit the diaries or weekly magazines. One of them was the story of Bossa Nova. He had no doubt: he contacted Companhia das Letras at the newborn time, and spoke of his idea. “She was accepted, I started and, to this day, I could no longer stop,” says the author of “Arriva de Saudade”.
Now 77, he prepares for another release: “Trincheira Tropical”, for the same company of Letters, is already in pre-sale. The book talks about the, covering the 1935 to 1945.
“It’s a privilege to have two, three, five years to dive into a person’s life, or in the life of a time, behind a theme,” he says at Casafolha. “What is the fascination of a biography? You open a door, you go through a door; the past is there, waiting for you, and it will happen again – so that now, in your eyes. There can be no more wonderful experience than this.”
