An Unwritten Novel: Fernando Pessoa's the Book of Disquiet

by Thomas Cousineau

A richly insightful guide to Fernando Pessoa's masterpiece, for both students and the common reader. "Anything and everything, depending on how one sees it, is a marvel or a hindrance, an all or a nothing, a path or a problem," says Bernardo Soares, the putative author of Fernando Pessoa's classic The Book of Disquiet. Thomas Cousineau's An Unwritten Novel offers the general reader, as well as students and teachers, an "Ariadne's thread" that will help them to find their way through this labyrinthine masterpiece: a self-proclaimed "factless autobiography" in which all the expected elements of the contemporary novel remain "unwritten."

if an existential crisis was a novel this would be the one. Getting into pessoa’s life was especially important to know about his entries.
