Fernando Pessoa

classicpenguin:

“It arrived, wrapped in brown paper. A Penguin Classics edition. The book stunned me with its beauty. Rabih was correct, of course: it was one of the great books of our times. I had not read anything quite like it before. It was like opening Joyce’s back door and finding another genius there in the garden. The Book of Disquiet. To try to describe it would be to diminish it.”
—Colum McCann, on Fernando Pessoa’s The Book of Disquiet in The Millions
