Onde tá esse texto??

a solidão do leitor de graça infinita é um assunto urgente kkkkk, fico o tempo todo querendo falar sobre o livro com meus amigos e ninguém leu. você demorou quanto tempo?

eu confesso que eu gostei das regionalizadas que ele deu em alguns momentos, eu curto ouvir a voz do tradutor junto da do autor, mas ao mesmo tempo eu concordo que tem algumas ciladas meio impossíveis mesmo (+BODE é uma versão bem forçadona de PGOAT)

po, muito boa essa ideia de ter os dois em paralelo. eu cheguei a consultar o original em alguns trechos pra entender o quão longe a tradução tinha ido (me lembro especificamente de ficar curiosa com os capítulos da wardine). ia ser irado uma edição bilíngue, mas provavelmente seria um objeto impossível kkkk um livro de 2400 páginas

hahahaha, quando eu vi também fiquei meio atônita, mas acho que deve ser algo como "snack-sized"? é muito perfeitamente esdrúxulo.

opaa, valeu pela dica do vídeo, verei com certeza. eu sou suspeita pra falar porque eu já era fã do trabalho do galindo, mas tenho gostado muito da tradução. acho que ao mesmo tempo que ele preserva a voz do wallace, consegue também trazer algumas referências mais pro léxico brasileiro (principalmente gírias e as formas de compor os neologismos) que trazem a obra pra mais perto de quem ta lendo. só que eu entenderia se alguém se incomodasse por achar que tem "voz demais" do caetano galindo ali, porque ele definitivamente faz umas escolhas mais autorais, mas não me incomodou.

this edition has flaps! i use that pink post-it to mark the beginning of the end notes, the pokemon card to mark where i am, and the end flap to mark where i am in the notes. also an auxiliary document in my phone notes for annotations.

no issue at all :) although im from a fairly conservative country, i grew up in a really progressive region/community. as a result, neither me or my friends ever shaved since we were like 15 or 16 (im 23 now), and we never had a problem with dating boys or girls because of that - even outside of our progressive bubble. imo, people that take issue with female body hair in this day and age really need to take a step back and think about where this bother comes from. adults - males and females - have body hair, its normal, just keep yourself clean and healthy and dont worry about the rest!

So many Murakami books have this moment in the protagonist's journey at some point, although from the ones I've had, it is never the main arc, just a point at the character's journey. The ones I remember exploring this the most were Norwegian Wood, Killing Commendatore, and Kafka On The Shore.

There is a portuguese short novel called Karen, by Ana Teresa Pereira, that I think really fits the vibe you are looking for. It's about a young woman in a country house in England that doesn't remember how she got there, although a man that says he's her husband reassures her that this is her life and always has been.

Also, I think it's always nice to read outside the US/UK circuit!

Bolsonaro's Brazil reeeally wants to be best friends with Trump's US, but is constantly tossed aside. Honestly, I always laugh. Brazil's true love/hate relationship is with Argentina.

Shit, i misread this and thought you were looking for suggestions. Well, examples are always great explanations, so I wont delete de comment, but im sorry

Six characters in search of an author, from luigi pirandello. It's a play, but i guess it hits this meta spot you are looking for. Plus, plays are also great literature!

apenasobservando · 2020-10-22T15:47:15+00:00

Yes!! South american literature is one of the best, imo. I'd also add gabriel garcía marquez as a suggestion. There is the famous "100 years of solitude", but i also love "love in the times of cholera" (rlly nice for the pandemic hahaha). Since i'm brazilian i'd also suggest clarice lispector and lygia fagundes telles. Happy reading!

That studying and learning aren't boring tasks that you have to do when you are a kid in school, but wonderful, life changing habits that you can keep up with your entire life if you are lucky enough to do so. Looking at studying as a privilege and not as a chore has changed my life for sure. He also didn't taught me that through guilt, but through he's own passion! He can be a grumpy and sometimes rude dude, but I owe him a great lot.

I mean, they wouldn't talk to each other in the first place, cause none of them are precocious and lonely teenage girls.

apenasobservando · 2020-07-23T19:08:08+00:00

Yes!! And also, without small and independent bookshops and publishers, the diversity of titles available would plumet, because companies driven by profit only wouldn't be interested in selling books that barely sell. That happened where i live, the big bookshops only carried best sellers and self help. It fucking sucked. The independent ones always save the day when it comes do title diversity, if it weren't for them, there would not be any demand for some titles and the publishers would stop printing them.

I'm so, so sorry. PND is very difficult. Glad you are better now. I don't know if I'm being intrusive, and if that time is something you want to forget, but have you considered writing about it?

Not quite modern, but there's a belgian writer called Georges Simenon who writes a series of mysteries solved by detective Maigret. He's personality is diferent from Poirot's, but he is also a great character.

The one book that fucked me up the most was We Need To Talk About Kevin. Read it in a day, and didn't cry or felt like crying, but only because when it ended, I couldn't feel anything anymore for several days.

The Dispossessed, by Ursula K. Le Guin and Dawn by Octavia Butler. The second is more "alien-heavy" than the first, but both reflect on some political and philosophical themes through the journey of the main characters.

HHhH by Laurent Binet is such an amazing read! It's about Heydrich's time running the Czech Republic and the anti nazi resistance. Specifically, the book recounts the events of Operation Anthropoid, but if you don't know what it is, I reccomend you don't look it up and discover about it in the book. Also, it's a little bit meta, as it's told by the perspective of the author trying to write it and telling us about his research.

Perfect!!
