I’m reading The Apple In The Dark right now. I love it, but I don’t remember the last time I read a book this hard.

[@TheCodeXCantina]

I’m definitely looking forward to picking that up!!

[@DouglasXavier]

It's definitely my favourite book in the whole world.

[@GetWriteOnIn]

You consistently make me want to be a better, smarter, and more active reader. Both of you. And your smartness.

[@TheCodeXCantina]

You're already a great reader! Can we handle a better you?

É melancólico ver como os lusitanos não valorizam as nossas estrelas nacionais😢...

[@TheNerdyNarrative]

Might give this one a go once I finish working through her short story collection.

[@TheCodeXCantina]

I can't wait to get to her other novels.

[@bighardbooks770]

I am so glad that ya'all did this (because, now, I'm going to reread the novel; yes: immediately)! Roz is my Lespector reading pard, and this was our third, and it was great having your expertise, and two different translations, along. You guys _ROCK!_ 👨‍🎤🤘👩‍🎤

[@TheCodeXCantina]

It was a hoot sir!

[@johannaquinones7473]

Oh my goodness so excited about this one!

[@TheCodeXCantina]

🤗

[@johannaquinones7473]

Def. Getting Pontiero!

[@TheCodeXCantina]

I hope you enjoy

[@bighardbooks770]

Krypto: Great points about this being her "fictional autobiography," and the Joyce refs. (I'd reread it w/the Pontiero; Roz and I read the NDP translation.)

[@TheCodeXCantina]

I hope you enjoy round 2!

Raduan Nassar with "Lavoura Arcaica" (Ancient tillage) and Guimaraes Rosa with "Sagarana" was definitely bigger and wilder debut. Even Raquel de Queiroz, with "O Quinze" had a bigger impact in brazilian literature i think. (opinion as a brazilian)

[@TheCodeXCantina]

I’ll have to check them out. I was thinking of reading some Machado de Assis next. Thanks for sharing.

[@GabrielLopes-dz6xr]

I'm discovering João Guimarães Rosa, and it's mindblowing! I'm reading "Grande Sertão: Veredas", after get contact with a short story book of his called "Primeiras Estórias". The way that he uses Portuguese, to get to his expression, is something genuinly unique. He is indeed a wizard. It's beatiful, and deep, with all the subjects that the great literature deals with. There is good translations of his work to English? Because is a difficult work to translate hahahah He is maybe the best writer of Brazil, after Machado de Assis (and he was born in the same year that Machado died, 1908 😱); and he was a contemporary of Clarice.
