Although Vinicius had established his public figure through poetry and popular song, he was one of the greatest prose writers of his generation. As a matter of fact, a generation where the good prose of that time was crystallized through a chronic genre extremely characterized by the style of Rio de Janeiro city.
With a large number of newspapers that circulated in the city and with a team of writers which would vary from Rubem Braga to Carlinhos de Oliveira, from Carlos Drummond de Andrade to Clarice Lispector, from Fernando Sabino to Nelson Rodrigues, Vinicius sit among them as a chronicler who transmitted to the prose, the same reasons and the same lightness of style that he presented to the public in his poems.

DIALÉTICA
É claro que a vida é boa
E a alegria, a única indizível emoção
É claro que te acho linda
E em ti bendigo o amor das coisas simples
É claro que te amo
E tenho tudo para ser feliz
Mas acontece que eu sou triste...
Montevidéu, 1960
