From inside a circle made of shards of glass in front of Porto Alegre\u2019s Public Market, a scrawny man, little more than a twig of skin, fired a bottomless question at me point blank:<\/p>\n

\u201cMiss, tell me something. Do you think I should keep on eating glass or give it up, go back home, and put in some crops?\u201d<\/p>\n

I remained stock-still, not knowing what to say, utterly mute. Should he continue eating glass or not? It was a question and a half. Then I understood. Jorge Luiz Santos de Oliveira, thus christened thirty-five years ago, had a dream, the dream of making a living by eating glass. Because eating glass is Jorge Luiz\u2019s art. From early on, it was what set Jorge Luiz apart from the sad hordes of all the Jorges, from the long line of country people from S\u00e3o Jer\u00f4nimo, his land, coal land, dark and pungent. By masticating his rocky ground, Jorge Luiz discovered he is a unique being in the world, despite the sameness of his melancholy face, of skin stretched over bones. By gnawing on stones to frighten off the worms crawling around his insides, he blazed the trail of his art. For someone who regurgitated stones, glass wasn\u2019t scary. <\/p>\n

Jorge Luiz began by ingesting beer, cognac, even champagne bottles. He became, in the words of his crude cardboard poster, the Man of Steel. And so, while ruminating on a liter bottle of Scotch\u2014on the rocks\u2014Jorge Luiz asked me this question from the fork in his path: Should he or should he not continue eating glass?<\/p>\n

I moved closer to understand the question. Then I noticed. The Man of Steel was crying.<\/p>\n

Jorge Luiz had no audience, inescapably a tragedy for a performer. He drew the traditional circle of water to summon his public, but they didn\u2019t come. They were all standing around an indigenous man displaying a lizard in a box and selling some miraculous ointments that, he guaranteed, came straight from the Amazon. Earlier, Jorge Luiz had tried to do his performance over at a busy pedestrian mall, but he left when he caught sight of the man who owns the spot, the magisterial Brazilian Rambo with his admirable bundle of muscles.<\/p>\n

So the Man of Steel hustled over to Gl\u00eanio Peres Plaza with his many riches: a leather hat, a bag filled with pieces of glass, a photo of his two kids, and a note, written by him, in which he vows to love beyond this life the wife who was run over and killed two years ago. \u201cTatiane, Iloveyou,\u201d it reads, the words stuck together so he won\u2019t ever be separated from the woman of his life again, not even by the vacuum of grammar.<\/p>\n

When I met him, Jorge Luiz had just shattered an eyetooth on a shard from an imported bottle of something he\u2019d pulled out of a trash can. Tough glass, said the startled Man of Steel, a bright red thread trickling from the corner of his mouth. He told me his idol and inspiration was Ostrich Man, who had swallowed pool balls in his childhood, and padlocks, too, keys and all, right down the hatch.<\/p>\n

Now Jorge Luiz couldn\u2019t understand why people would rather watch a boring lizard do nothing at all than watch a man eat glass, lie down on glass, walk on glass. Nor could I. Strange world this, where a man eating glass isn\u2019t astonishing.<\/p>\n

The two of us stood there, glaring at the lizard and pondering human mysteries. Then I left, without answering his question from the depths. He chewed glass but what pierced him was invisibility.<\/p>\n
