I did a slow read of this - about 10 pages a day, not every day, over 10 months. I only have the vocabulary required to write shit post reviews, not the vocabulary to describe how deeply impactful this book was to me. I think everyone should pick this up at least one time in their life, what a beautiful book. And like the story behind A Confederacy of Dunces, what an absolutely devastating story about Pessoa’s life.
