Reviews
... the book contains many understated virtues. These range from advancing beyond the often - discussed possible influence of Zen in Pessoa's thought, to an avoidance of any simplistic taxonomy of Pessoa and his works. The quirks of Ganeri's tour of Pessoa's universe are not mere distractions, instead inviting the reader to think about how the author expanded our range of thought and feeling, while revealing that much remains for us to discover, feel, and think. * Paulo De Medeiros, Modern Language Review *
The book is replete with insights and original suggestions for even the most seasoned of Pessoa scholars, while the clear and accessible style will retain appeal for the more general reader. Erudite without ever retreating into unnecessary obscurity, Ganeri marshals point upon point and shows a detailed, specialized knowledge not only of various strands of philosophy, but also of the intricacies of Pessoa studies. Exemplary referencing showcases an ability to combine originality with intellectual generosity. The end result is a landmark study, refreshingly free of the usual pieties, conscious of the most recent developments, and with the potential to galvanize the field of Pessoa studies. * Paulo de Medeiros, Modern Language Review *
