Rui Vicente was born in Porto on the 1st of June, World Children’s Day. This circumstance, dictated by nature, traced his destiny – he did not grow up, he usually says to those who are surprised to see him, decades later, vibrating with electronic music that takes him to Ibiza or makes him tour the circuit of the best DJs international. At the age of eleven, he chose to study law, graduating from the Faculty of Law of Coimbra. He practices law, the only profession he has had to date, in the region of Matosinhos. To Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, who started reading as a teenager, and to “Expresso”, a companion for life, he owes his passion for the media, consummated with some contributions, as a collaborator, in “O Comércio do Porto” and in “Portugal Empresarial”, a supplement to “Diário Económico” published by Associação Empresarial de Portugal and, more recently, in “Porto Canal”. In 2013, he joined one of the lists competing for elections to the bodies of the Bar Association. Previously, in 2006, he had won the literary prize “O Meu Primeiro Best-Seller” with the novel “A Mais Bela Nas Alturas”. He writes for pleasure – because, as someone said in the fifth century, life is either pleasure or nothing.
With Idioteque, he published Fucking N’Elas (2014), a book that is the opposite of what it seems – a macho title for a story in which the strong and dominant characters are female. Women always win, it is written at a given step in the text. Paulo, a lawyer at the beginning of his career, who is maliciously attributed the nickname that gives the novel its name, will be lost by Dânia, an intelligent and beautiful client, indicted for committing a homicide, which subtly leads him to crime.
