The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas by Machado de Assis
medium-paced
3.75
Good fun and I learned quite a bit from the translator’s endnotes and entire process of translating the book. I’ve never read a book quite like this. It’s kooky and feels surprisingly modern considering its age. I imagined Brás Cubas as Jim Carrey’s Count Olaf if he were in a love triangle and tried to write down his own original (a)moral philosophy.
