@courtneyhenningnovak: I absolutely LOVED the Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas by Machado de Assis, my pick for Brazil. Seriously, this might be my new favorite book. I will definitely be reading more books by this author and more Brazilian literature. #readaroundtheworld #BookTok
The chapters were originally published in the newspaper, that’s why they’re very short! I can’t imagine having to wait for the next chapter every time.

If Machado de Assis wrote in a more global language, or if he was not from the Global South, he would be as recognized for the world literature as Dostoevsky.

I’m in Language University in Brazil and my Literary Theory project last semester was about why Machado de Assis isn’t canon, even though his books serve every purpose a canon writing should serve!

I heard of you on the radio here in Brazil and needed to check on this tik tok. It was in a radio program talking about you and the hype of this book on amazon selling in the us.

Machado de Assis cannot be overhyped. All hype for his work is not enough

by the way, Cubas has the stress on the first syllable. It's like the country "Cuba", but plural.

Wait till you read Dom Casmurro, is the ultimate Machado de Assis book (imo). Also, a personal favorite for your future list would be Captains of the Sand by Jorge Amado

I'm a brazilian writer and I love Machado de Assis. Unfortunately, we need more experienced readers who can understand all the nuances of these novels
