Scope and Contents

This eighth page from Dante Diary is dated September 30, 1979 in Roman numerals. The caption, "dante in brazil," is stencilled on its top left corner. The phrases, EDIFICIO DANTE SP [Sao Paulo] and O COPACABANA ! are rubberstamped in red ink at the top and bottom of the page, respectively. Phillips has made an ink, line drawing of a beach scene, which is populated with many nude figures, on the bottom half of the page. The latter image is similar to one utilized in Phillips' TV Dante made for British TV4 in 1987. The handwritten text deals with Phillips' adventures in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and includes mention of Dante's name cited on commercial buildings. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
