Liam’s review of Bom-Crioulo: The Black Man and the Cabin Boy (English and Portuguese Edition) > Likes and Comments

Thanks for the reminder. A few years later queer bookshops in Canada experienced the same thing. The cause was the same: the religious lobby and a conservative government.

I have seen mention of what in Canada through the Canadian author Stan Persky - and of course in the USA similar witch hunts are still going on - thank you for your kind words

I lived in Brazil for 10 years, this was one of my first reads when I learned Portuguese.

Reading books in translation always leaves me wondering what I have missed - what are you opinions on the novel?

@liam yes, translations do miss a lot of the point, sometimes I do read books twice one in english and the original language. (If I speak that language) not sure how to reply to person yet on the app.
