An Unwritten Novel: Fernando Pessoa's The Book of Disquiet by Thomas Cousineau (Dalkey Archive Scholarly)
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 195 KB
Overview: "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."

"Tom Cousineau's An Unwritten Novel is a fine study of Pessoa's Book of Disquiet--the first of its kind in any language, so far as I know. Cousineau does an excellent job of identifying and unraveling key strands in Pessoa's work, which he then reweaves in various patterns to illuminate Fernando Pessoa, his semi-autobiographical persona Bernardo Soares, and their collaborative project(ion) of Disquiet. An Unwritten Novel, well-written and well-argued, is an important contribution to Pessoa studies that will be much appreciated by Pessoa scholars and by anyone who admires the work of Portugal's great Modernist writer."--Richard Zenith

Thomas Cousineau teaches English at Washington College. Along with guest-editing “Beckett in France” for the Journal of Beckett Studies, he has published Waiting for Godot: Form in Movement, After the Final No: Samuel Beckett’s Trilogy, Ritual Unbound: Reading Sacrifice in Modernist Fiction, and Three-Part Inventions: The Novels of Thomas Bernhard.
