José de Jesus Louzeiro (September 19, 1932 – December 29, 2017) was a Brazilian novelist, screenwriter and reporter.
Louzeiro was born in São Luís. He started working in 1948 as an intern at the newspaper O Imparcial. In 1953, when he was 21 years old, he moved to Rio de Janeiro where he worked on the magazine A Revista da Semana and O Jornal. Louzeiro also wrote for the newspapers Diário Carioca, Última Hora, Correio da Manhã, Folha and Diário do Grande ABC, as well for the magazine Manchete. [1]
Louzeiro first foray in literature was in 1958 with the short story Depois da Luta. His experience as a police reporter marked his literary production; Louzeiro's writing about real-life crime stories in a novelized way was compared to Truman Capote's nonfiction novels. Another books by Louzeiro are Lúcio Flávio, o passageiro da agonia (1975), Araceli, meu amor (1976) and Infância dos mortos (1977). He also wrote children's books.[2]
Louzeiro collaborated with film director Héctor Babenco, writing the screenplay for Lúcio Flávio, 1977 film adaptation of Lúcio Flávio, o passageiro da agonia. Infância dos mortos was also adapted to the movies, as the 1981 film Pixote.[3]
