Is she as good as Joyce? Or is she a meme? Personally I like

it's hard to go below 0% senpai.

>>9039145
She's not as good as Joyce. But she's very, very good and I don't think I've ever seen her memed.

Brazillian here.
Read Machado and Guimarães first.

>Say on the internet you're from the same country as the author and that she isn't really worth reading before two other better authors from the same country

Senpai I honestly tried to pick up Hora da Estrela but the dedicatory dragged on for more than five pages and I got pissed off.

I had food poisoning from an outdoor restaurant in Bahia once.

What are the essentials from those 2?

>>9039145
wasn't that impressed...I found Hour of the Star forgettable and stopped there. Too many other writers vying for my attention at the moment.

>>9039511
not him but brazilian too

Machado de Assis: Posthumous memoirs of Brás Cubas and Dom Casmurro, if you enjoy it, read Quincas Borba aswell.

Guimarães Rosa: The Devil to Pay in the Backlands (Grande Sertão: Veredas).

Are there English versions?

>>9039313
Yeah I loved Hour of the Star. Look into her history of doing interviews, she was pretty cool. Don't know why she isn't mentioned more on here or in real life. Whenever I bring her up I get blank stares and long blinks

>>9041735
no, you have to learn brazillian

>>9041735
>Posthumous memoirs of Bras Cubas
>The Devil to Pay in the Backlands
Those are English versions, although I've read people say that Rosa's work was reduced to a western in the translation.
