Product Description
The Correspondence of Fradique Mendesostensibly letters, with an arch introductionactually ranges widely and revels in many forms of discourse. In this singular work, originally published in 1900, one finds meditations, dialogues, observations, grand shifts in tone, occulted ironies, pastiches, lampoons, and an underlying hilarity throughout. Readers will be reminded of Ishmaels lofty digressions, of Ivan Karamazovs dialogues with his imaginary devil, of Flauberts stylistic virtuosity, of Gogols quiet comedyand more. Fradique, at one point, disingenuously tells us he will never write a book because no language is capable of representing the real significance of anything. But Fradiques letters go on to offer us nearly everything, and they presciently anticipate much of what is rightly celebrated in the best of postmodern writing. This magnificent novel now appears in a beautiful and deft translation that will entertain and delight with wit, intelligence and many surprises.
