@courtneyhenningnovak: A couple of weeks ago, I read The Third Bank of the River and other stories by João Guimarães Rosa, translated by Barbara Shebly Merello, as part of my #Braziliansidequest to my #readaroundtheworld adventure. I still can’t get over how deeply this book touched me. The stories were so deceptively simple, yet profoundly vast, giving my soul glimpses into the mysteries and majesty of life. I feel more motivated than ever to keep learning Portuguese so I can read this one as its author intended. Many thanks to the Guimarães Rosa Institute for this beautiful book! #BookTok #booktokfyp #booksbooksbooks #bookrecommendations #shortstories

ooooh! Guimarães Rosa is a tough read in portuguese, he's very experimental in his writing. I'm curious about the translation!!

Have you already reached the conclusion that brazilian literature is the best?

the day you start reading Grande Sertão is the day you realise you gave yourself the gift of living another life, Rosa does that to some.
