Raduan Nassar (born November 27, 1935, in Pindorama, São Paulo) is a Brazilian writer.

The Brazilian cinema adapted both of his books (see the article Lavoura Arcaica (To the left of the father)).

Despite great critical acclaim, Nassar retired from writing in 1984, claiming he had lost interest in literature and wanted to work with agriculture instead.

[2] In 2016, Nassar was acclaimed the winner of the 2016 Camões Prize,[3] the most prestigious award of the Portuguese language literature.

Reviewing A Cup of Rage in British daily newspaper The Guardian, Nicholas Lezard found it to be "a burning coal of a work", adding, "You may consider a book this short to be scarcely worthy of the name, but it packs more power into its scant 47 pages than most books do into five or 10 times as many.
