Some of my favorite books are the unsettling ones, novels that swivel on their axes and topple my comfortable understandings. Give me the nightmare any day over the sweetened fairytale.
Searching for Pessoa
One year ago when we decided to devote a website to reading and literature, we turned to the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa for guidance and a name.
Over the past week, we’ve been enjoying our morning coffee at the poet’s hangout, Café a Brasileira, and reading his work while we enjoy Lisbon, where he was born in 1888 and died in 1935. Join us in following him and his legacy around the city.
