Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Dark humor and very insightful. I would advice that you read a physical copy and not an audiobook in order to savor the language and philosophy.

Machadinho sendo machadinha. Rei do sarcasmo.
Brás é um chato de galocha, mas a sátira é tão intencional que tudo fica cômico. Além dos comentários incrivelmente criativos e os capítulos de "pausa". Muito diferente, eu acho genial esse jeito de escrever dele. Além dos capítulos curtos que tornam o livro muito dinâmico. Agora vou entrar no universo machadense e ler o livro do bitolado do Quincas Borba pra entender a origin story dele.
