Reviews

Acute, captivating, beautifully written and translated, this is a masterly reinterpretation of one of the world s greatest novelists. By subtle close reading and a groundbreaking, innovative approach, Joao Cezar de Castro Rocha unfolds in front of our eyes the subtle, ramified, mimetic complexity of Machado de Assis s genius, along with the anxieties of its formation. Pierpaolo Antonello, University of Cambridge
