Forgot to add Rubem Fonseca and Dalton Trevisan to the writers list.

I always thought Pessoa was Brazilian. Goes on to show how irrelevant Portugal is.

op here
thanks a lot!

No, it goes on to show how dumb you are. It's normal to mistake the nationality of people from the metropolis with the colony and vice versa, for most people.

Who can mistake a Brit for an American or a Spaniard for a Latin American?

Anybody who has little or no knowledge, like >>8305251 or your average american.

Brazilian literature is little known by foreigners, because it is restricted. The topics covered here are fully Brazilians; the problems, our culture and our lives are different from the rest of the world. I mean, if Brazil were a person it would be that smart but very poor guy.

He was stolen so many times, and now he doesn't show his stuff around the world

Our best poets are Gonçalves Dias and Carlos Drummond.

Our best writers are Machado, Guimarães Rosa and José de Alencar.

Did I lied?

Olavo is good tho, but Gonçalves and Drummond are best

>>8305477
The national anthem and his mastery of the language are enough to rate him above Drummond.

>>8305465
Olavo, like a lot of brazilian poetry, didn't age well. Parnasianism was bound to get tacky tbqh

For my anglosphere /lit/bros, I strongly recommend you Raduan Nassar. His two books just got translated into Penguin and he's probably the greatest brazilian writer in the last 60 years.

Also, Antonio Callado is great, but not even brazilians seem to care much about his work. Also, Murilo Rubião was doing magical realism before Borges & co. and without knowing Kafka, his stuff is great, but I doubt it will ever be translated.

Forgot to mention Paulo Leminski in the poetry department.
Also, if OP really plans on diving into brazilian/portuguese literature, learning portuguese seems worth the effort. It's a great language, after all.
