Description

A lively and accessible introduction to Machado de Assis and his work

Machado de Assis (1839-1908) is a world-class writer and arguably the greatest of Brazilian literature. Susan Sontag deemed him “the greatest writer ever produced in Latin America,” and Harold Bloom, “the supreme black literary artist to date.” John Updike called him a “master,” and Carlos Fuentes, a “miracle.” This book guides the reader through Machado’s biography, times, and critical reception and examines his various personas – the translator, poet, playwright, critic, cronista, short story writer, and novelist – paying particular attention to his fictional prose, which most clearly conveys his acerbic criticism of Brazilian society and his deft view of the human condition. The book closes with an updated list of Machado’s works available in English translation and a selection of further critical studies.
